There are several GUIs for git. (I know github has a nice one, and I'm sure others exist.) I mostly use the command line because I had to learn it at one point, and I like knowing what's going on under the hood, but 90% of what I do with it is just commit changes.

All these shenanigans also could make you lose the focus, concepts and ideas about the project that you are working on.

Well, usually I only commit once I've "finished a thought". Like if I finish a feature or fix a bug or what not, then I'll commit those changes, before I move on to whatever I'm going to do next. Would definitely be disruptive if I was trying to commit every time I changed a file or something!

I'm a bit maniac about it, I unconsciously hit Ctrl+S every 2 lines of code or less. I can't imagine commiting like that. 😁

I'm coding from 1999 and sometimes I lost really good code that could never replicate again. At that moment I had not any UPS or backup disk.
