Do you prefer using Git on the command-line or with a GUI?

from Web Dev with Matt · host Matthew Setter

Do you prefer using Git on the command-line or with a GUI? That's what I'm keen to find out in this episode of the podcast. Why? Because I’m an avid Git command-line user, and have been for over 10 years! But, recently, I’ve been experimenting with some of the GUI tools available for Git to see if if I’m missing out on anything, and how the experience differs from the command line. In this episode, I share with you what it's like using Git Tower, and Git GUIs in general, as a long-time command-line user, and some of the pros and cons of each approach.
