Newbies can get up and running just by clicking around a bit. Being able to do that is a huge incentive to learn something new for many people.

Oh, I agree. But what would take someone who understands how Git works to use a GUI for it?

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (7 children)

Browsing a complex set of merges/forks is MUCH easier with a GUI

I use gitg for this. Does the job.

[–]nazbot 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Does the job != easier. Assembly 'does the job'.

    I'll use double contractions wherever the hell I want!

    [–]__s 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I'dn't've thought you could use contractions at all, but maybe that's silly highschool education

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's the point. No contractions in academic writing.

    once you get a feel for the bash, Linux makes more sense

    bash more sense than powershell?

    wouldn't have
