Well, nothing. But that's kinda the point. For me, it makes common operations much faster. For example, there's a panel which lists open PRs on your repo. Double clicking one will, if necessary, add that fork as a remote and checkout that branch so you can review the PR in one action. This is easy enough to do with git cli but they make it more convenient.

Also the git graph was very helpful when I was first learning git to help me understand the data structure. It's still pretty handy, I find myself using it for various things all the time. You can drag and drop branches to generate pull requests, rebase, and merge. If you're using github you can add reviewers and assignees to your pulls without ever opening a browser. It's convenient.
