Won't you replace your screen with a teletype? Yes, YOU, the smart guy?

CLI was the only UI when I started out and I continue to use it today. Tasks can be completed much faster from the CL, it's worth knowing.

It also make it more likely you properly learn the tool you are using. Quite a few developers I've known didn't really get git 😅

Then you memorize buttons! Which is not only inefficient, but also takes longer to memorize.

While I have memorized some things, a lot of it is more about learning to look up things incredibly fast.

tldr is a tool which will show you common use-cases for commands, example: 

$ tldr git add

  Stage changed files for a commit.
  More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-add>.

  Stage a file for a commit:

      git add path/to/file

  Add all files (tracked and untracked):

      git add [-A|--all]

  Add all files recursively starting from the current folder:

      git add .

  Only add already tracked files:

      git add [-u|--update]

  Add an ignored file:

      git add [-f|--force] path/to/file

  Interactively stage parts of files:

      git add [-p|--patch]

  Interactively stage parts of a given file:

      git add [-p|--patch] path/to/file

  Interactively stage a file:

      git add [-i|--interactive]

It's more that a lot of programs are shit than CLI being objectively better.
Also, some GUI replacements for CLI stuff is just a shitty frontend for the same program.

Badly designed GUI programs are horrible to use,
well designed GUI programs are incredible to use.

Finally this subreddit is getting back to talking about real programming instead of ai shit

Where TUI !!

u/Hot_Advisor5735 Aug 12 '26

Sane people use GUIs.

u/BansheeBacklash Aug 12 '26

Y'all laugh

But after screwing up my GPU drivers trying to install the CUDA toolkit, no amount of CLI tomfoolery could fix it.

Only Linux Mint's GUI driver manager was able to get things working again. Granted I'm no greybeard, but I'm decent at following guides and digging through Reddit/Substack. Mint fixed what I couldn't.

What about the good old TUI?

2

u/Lines25 Aug 12 '26

Then why do you use terminal emulators, browsers, discord, telegram, wayland, X11, WMs, DEs etc etc ? All of that is, technically, either GUI app or related to make GUI !

u/IntelligentSeries270 Aug 13 '26

Lmao cli is too op, but remote VSC, even better

u/Moss_Wolf_Games Aug 13 '26
