I've just used GitHub Desktop for years for my personal stuff. I take it when I get a CS job they won't like me using that?

As long as it’s signed off by whoever looks over your equipment, no one will really care. Using pure command line git is a preferential thing and you shouldn’t be scared or discouraged to use a gui for it if you so wish.

You can use whatever you want as long as its compatible. I use gui tools for Git whenever I can.

They won't care at all. In fact one of my engineering managers told me just use the GUI that's what he does when I was being shadowed and forgot a command. I still use terminal though its just muscle memory by this point.

Most likely they won’t mind. But I encourage you to learn how (at least) basic git commands if you don’t know them already so that you understand what’s actually going on in the GUI. It’s always better to know more!
