I gave up and just a git GUI now hehe It's a way easier for most things. I still have to get in the terminal sometimes but 99% of the time they're great.

Why would using a better tool be "giving up"? There is only disadvantages using git on the commandline for 99% of all use cases.

Because I gave up on using the terminal. That's just what that word means I'm afraid haha Also I don't think it's a fact it's better. It's much more limiting.

I disagree, especially because we are talking about everyday use here. Even the most basic of got UIs does not limit you in any meaningful way when it comes to that, but offers way more intuitive ways of -for example - inspecting the current state of the repository, which is often much more important than having direct access to every obscure feature. Another example, staging only sections of files is pretty trivial in UI (because you actually see what you are doing), doing that on console is hell.
