Oh shit, git: Getting myself out of bad situations

Or, you know, that is irrelevant when the person using a GUI makes fewer errors than those who aren't (which has broadly been my experience as well).

Even someone who perfectly understands git can make a typo or have a brain-fart of a day. A GUI significantly reduces the chances of something like that for all users.

Sometimes dev obsession with tool purity does more damage than good.

You're always one git reflog away of undoing the brainfart. Once you know the CLI well enough, you manipulate the git data model easily. When you're using a code review tool like gerrit, it's impossible to do something you can't undo.
