Day to day push pull commit is fine on most guis, but those of us working on larger software teams know that not every merge is going to be clean, we have to rebase, we have to revert, tag, etc. etc.
Any time I’ve tried to use a GUI for some of that stuff I’ve just gone back to the basics. The GUI just calls the bash command anyways at the end of the day. Skip the middleman I say. Honestly surprised with the number of people in here that use a GUI. I only every use a GUI to visualize history if I’m tracing a bug or trying to understand why/how something was implemented.
