I find GUI's to be very helpful; most of my commits happen through VSCode's commit panel. For my home Unity3D project I use sourcetree because my commits unfortunately end up being to a lot of unrelated files (blame unity), and having a UI to stage them saves a lot of typing. I avoid anything like rebasing (never got the point of that), but I use branches liberally. I find with this setup, I only need to use a handful of command line options, and I haven't screwed up a local repository in a long time.

If you are on Windows, Visual Studio's GUI is actually quite good for staging, merging and diffing. I tend to use it for most of those simpler kinds of things while still doing commits, rebase etc. from the command line.

Same for VSCode on non-Windows.

I only mention this because I came to hate Sourcetree in its newer iterations on Windows so much that I tried out Visual Studio's support and was pleasantly surprised.
