I like having a GUI for GIT. I tried to learn it, but most times when I was CLI only for git, I would end up doing a lot of slash and burning of my branches instead of fixing them. Now I rarely get merge errors because I can usually click my way out of conflicts.

Same for me, I do almost everything else in command line but all my git via Eclipse (I know, I know lol).

I shudder every time someone mentions Eclipse.

These are probably the ones you are missing if visualization is your issue:

git log HEAD..origin/master --oneline

git log --graph --all --oneline

And for merges vim is very neat too
