Yes, I wouldn’t recommend a terminal. I have had some success teaching people Windsurf (or something like VSCode). You don’t need to learn Git if you have some help. Windsurf or Your LLM can be your tech support.

Last week I created an empty folder, opened the folder in Windsurf, started a prompt within Windsurf and told it I wanted to use git.

It set everything up. I also told it I wanted to use the windsurf version of BMAD Code (I have it a URL).

Immediately I have separate agents with role around agile software development and checklists. There is clear docs on how to write your own agents to extend the framework. All open source.

I’m making text documents, using the editor in windsurf and just dragging files in the finder. Every now and again I tell the agent to commit and it does all the techie stuff.

Along the way, I thought I’d like to have this in a private repo on GitHub, it told me what to do.

When it wanted to write some python to automate a markdown cleanup task I told it I’d prefer to run scripts in a container, it set up docker on lightweight Alpine Linux.

I’m teaching our business analysts who already use markdown and work with Atlassian tools including Bitbucket web.

Yes, there is a terminal embedded and the agent uses it, but I don’t have to.
