> Learn both. Use the easier one.

This is a great point that I will be sharing with my team. Sometimes (most of the time) I use the git cli, and sometimes I use the built-in Git pane in VS Code.

I have not used GitHub Desktop in quite a while. In your opinion does it make the commit graph easy-to-read? Because I have not found a tool _yet_ that makes that diagram easily parseable by the human eye. It just looks like a mountain of spaghetti commits linked together with a myriad of colored lines.

(I realize that part of the cause of my confusion is crappy discipline around commit history, but what can you do on a team of a certain size where you're not the lead? Just have to suck it up.)

Github Desktop doesn't have a commit graph. It only shows a list of commits for a selected branch.

SourceTree does well in this regard.
