Also agree.

Relied on gitk heavily when first started using git. People used to SVN and such will find git unfamiliar and scary.

Once I understood it as a series of revisions where even branches have little meaning, I never used gitk again…

The command line is actually very good if one gets in the habit of using something like “git log -oneline —reverse —no-merges origin/main..HEAD” to see where they are.

Mine is basically: git log --oneline --graph --all master~1..

A combination of "--all" and "branchname.." shows all descendant commits, and "--graph" shows their relationships visually.
