Should create an XKCD with “There is always n+1 Git client GUI”.

EVERY new employee arrives saying “Hey I’ve found this great UI for git, this one really nails it and makes git easy” and every time it’s a new Git UI that I’ve never heard of. It’s the “hello world” of startups: Creat their great git UI and publish it.

Then they commit with the default crappy commit messages and they don’t know how to git-rebase-i.

Maybe git is just too complicated for average users (myself included).

Then use the vscode wrapper, or whatever you choose.

People complain that "git" is complicated when what is really happening is that they're looking at a revision management problem like a merge conflict or regression bisection, or having to split/refactor a giant blob of changes as demanded by an upstream project, etc...

Those tasks are complicated, necessarily. And git is a tool for doing them. But people tend to get confused about this and blame the tool and not the problem. But a better UI isn't going to make that split not suck.
