I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I use Git in my day-to-day work, and I’ve realized I still default to the terminal for just about everything Git-related. For me, there's something satisfying about typing out commands and getting immediate feedback, especially when I’m doing things like rebasing, cherry-picking, or fixing up commits.

But then I started wondering... am I just stuck in my ways? There are so many GUIs and tools out there that streamline Git workflows—tools like GitKraken, SourceTree, and even VS Code’s built-in Git integration. Some of them look slick, and I know they make things easier for a lot of people, but I can’t seem to break away from the terminal. Maybe it’s the control freak in me!

So here’s my question: Do you still use Git in the terminal, or have you switched to using a tool? If you’ve made the switch, what’s your favorite Git tool? I’d love to know what everyone’s using these days. Maybe I’ll find something new to try out!

Drop your thoughts below—I’m genuinely curious to hear what’s working for you.
