I guess that's part of what I was getting at though. Where are you doing your development that isn't your workstation?

I work on a whole bunch of different things -- from personal stuff running on my laptop or VMs in my house to cloud services deployed across dozens of AWS services -- and things have just got to a point where I have no need to do a commit anywhere but my workstation. (Well, technically, I have two: one personal, one work).

I definitely used to do it years ago, but now I don't remember the last time I had to use git on a remote system.

I use two at the moment but they change over time, along with the OS. I am not talking about developing remotely, though it does happen that I use git push to deploy for some smaller projects. But I could have used GUI for that too. I guess I just don't want to get used to a tool I won't be able to keep using.
