Oh shit, git: Getting myself out of bad situations

"C language is so simple and powerful that I think it's worth suffering the bad syntax and memory leak just to be more fluent and be able to utilize the machine's power fully."

Pick the right tool for the right job, man.

Joking aside, think about the ratio of tasks. Most of the git commands I do is deadly simple. There might be once-in-a-year complex tasks that are more suitable to CLI, but for 99% of the tasks I think GUI could have a net gain in total. Although I'm not a GUI user in this particular case, I'd advocate to use whatever most intuitive to you when possible.

Disclaimer: I don't think C syntax is that bad.

It seems like the other way around to me. For 99% of simple tasks, the cli is quick and easy. There are a couple of simple commands, I know and remember them. For the once-a-year complex tasks, maybe I need the gui to be able to more easily and quickly accomplish them.
