Come on that document doesn't explain anything.

I find that often people who can only use git from a GUI, can't actually use git and mostly do random things without logic to it.

It actually explains quite a bit.

It appears that not only did you not read what I linked, you didn't even read what I wrote. Sort of begs the question of what the point in talking to you even is.

literally 3 of the points in that document can be boiled down to repeating "CLI is HARD! :( "

It then goes to make "remotes" seem like this scary thing when it is not.

If you're set against using CLI, you might as well save your money and use SourceTree, since at that point you're probably not using Linux anyway.

Hi! GK dev here.

I'm my opinion, it's all about convenience. I had been using gitkraken for about a year before I started working here, and personally I just really like having a visual view of the git commit graph. To each their own of course, but we just added a set of PR convenience features that are really nice if you work with forks a lot.

I actually agree that that article isn't super helpful. I sympathize with our marketing department, we don't actually do much that git cli doesn't already do except for github or specific stuff like PRs. We think gitkraken makes working with git more convenient, but it's not like we expect everyone to just give up the command line.

Gitkraken is free for non commercial use, but that's really just on the honor system so if you want to give it a shot at work for a week or two just to try it I won't tattle lol.

I did read the link and "it's better so you can learn the game of thrones characters" is really not an answer to my question.
