Any other recommendations for CLI tools?

I've gotten kind of familiar with the Git CLI. But it took a lot of wasted hours and headaches to do so, and even now it takes headaches and extra time / effort to do certain things like rewrite history and "good" commits. I still prefer CLI to GUI but I wish it was more intuitive.

You should check out the rest of the git-branchless suite mentioned in the article: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless. `git restack` is really useful for some of the rewrite cases. There are some other improvements to rewriting in the devel branch.
There's tig: https://jonas.github.io/tig/

It doesn't have too many features, but the main thing it aims for - a better repo browser, it does really well in my opinion.

I can second tig, it really helps me parse the repo.
I like forgit a lot, been using it for a while
