Git Good – The magic of keeping a clean Git history

Using a GUI is much nicer for many people. The interfaces can be inviting, pretty enough, and can handle a lot of git’s core functionality.

Sure, if you’re used to the cli, got guis might be of no help. Though I believe at least some of the time, the ease of being able to dive into history of commits, trees, diffs when doing big commits, all are helpful even for git [cli] vets.

A lot of people don’t care for learning all of git in the command line. Hate keeping git and other dev related usage to doing it the correct way like through command line can push people away who would otherwise use something.

I wanted to point out the native GUI tools are very friendly, cross platform and do their job pretty well that come with git (Gitk, git gui).

Rather than a paid tool like Fork, Git Kraken, Tortise, Source tree and the list goes on.

Also vsCode has some free extensions that give you the graph tooling as well and it's really powerful along with modern IDE's like Visual Studio & IntelliJ ecosystem.
