GitHub Desktop, since being rewritten whenever the last time was, is pretty decent and I just have people install that to initially clone the project and set up the remotes and then they can still use the command line or IDE to make commits and pushes if they want.

I'm starting to forget normal git workflow because GitHub for windows is so damn good. It's a great user experience and they've even added some great features recently like rebasing into dev.

This.

It also has an undo button to undo the last commit which has saved my ass a couple of times.

You could just use ‘git undo’ or ‘git reset —-soft HEAD~1’.

Isn't "git undo" a very recent invention? In my experience, people don't upgrade git very often. As for your other comment, see the xkcd reference elsewhere in this thread :)
