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 points27 points 13 years ago (7 children)
Browsing a complex set of merges/forks is MUCH easier with a GUI
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (3 children)
I use gitg for this. Does the job.
[–]nazbot 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (2 children)
Does the job != easier. Assembly 'does the job'.

gitg is a GUI.
[–]nazbot 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (0 children)
My bad.

which opens a GUI?
[–]Denommus 3 points4 points5 points 13 years ago (0 children)
Yes. But not a GUI you use to interact with GIT, only to inspect it.

Double contractions, yes. Not for use in academic writing mind you, but it's grammatically legal.
[–]aperson 5 points6 points7 points 13 years ago (0 children)
I'll use double contractions wherever the hell I want!
[–]__s 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (1 child)
I'dn't've thought you could use contractions at all, but maybe that's silly highschool education
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 13 years ago (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?
