I do most of my git through one or another UI (right now, mainly the integrated functionality in VSCode, a gitflow workflow extension for VSCode, and repository history graph extension for VSCode that supports doing operations against branches/tags/commits from the graph.) I feel loke I’m thriving that way.
Its not a substitute for knowing git, though, and I think that people who lean on a UI as a substitute for knowing what is going on underneath rather than as a convenience layer are not likely to thrive.
