Just a heads up, it you don't know how to use cli git in 2025 you're probably a shit developer. There are undoubtedly exceptions, but I would argue not knowing version control intimately makes you a bad developer.
Why learn an archaic and honestly horrifying command line interface, possibly the worst CLI ever made in the history of computing...when nice normal graphical interfaces work better, have discoverability, have troubleshooting tools, and don't require memorizing scripture?
Why learn a GUI that can change from release to release when I can learn a CLI once and be done with it. An additional plus is that CLIs are easier to script and automate.
