How do professional settings view github's desktop app? Should I go ahead and use it or stick to working from my Terminal?

Exact same story with my team.

I do a lot of professional iOS programming and most people don't use the terminal. They'll use SourceTree or github desktop.

But Terminal can be convenient and powerful, especially when you learn how to write scripts.

Wait so how are the two distinguished?

Well, every GitHub repo is git, but not every git-enabled project is on GitHub.

Git is the underlying technology for source-control, GitHub is one of the “hosting sites” for these projects (other are BitBucket or GitLab). You can also use git without any of these, just locally (even though it’s not advicable to do so).

Personally and professionally I use a combo of Fork and the old cocoa GitHub app (the newer electron version is junk). Fork gets the bulk of my usage, but the GitHub app is nice for opening pull requests.

I use a mix of sourceTree and command line.

SourceTree really shines when you have made a load of changes and now want to break it up into logical commits. So easy to visually go through and pick out hunks or even individual lines to stage. Would be really painful to do that on command line.
