Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

I use the VS Code built-in git support for making commits, and fall back to the CLI for anything else.

You won't have trouble remembering commands once you use them often enough. And you don't need to know all of them, just the ones your workflow uses. My toolbox is commit, checkout, status, reset, rebase -i, merge, bisect. That's all I need day-to-day.
