Point could be made people don't really use git anymore - they use github as the primary interface. Branching, merging, review, etc.

How many people know GitHub can do that? Your comment was the first I'd heard about it.

I suspect it’s the opposite way around: most people, when they hear “git”, macroexpand it to “github” and don’t even know that there is a (more powerful) command-line interface.

The peer-peer distributed nature is barely known — these days it’s a centralized client/server system. I remember the Internet connection going out at work a few years ago and developers saying they couldn’t coordinate bc github was not accessible when they could easily have synced, merged etc with each other directly.

My partner definitely does not know the difference between Git and GitHub. He's not much of a programmer but yeah.. maybe this is like Java vs JS all over again. Or jQuery vs JS. That one makes me extra sad.

The only git GUI I use is GitLens. I have always found the command line much easier to understand...and the GUIs make me nervous.

I've never seen as the primary workflow.

It's handy, especially if you're using Git as a CMS or something like that.
