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.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

I use a mix of CLI, the Git UI built into VSCode, and Sublime Merge.

Sublime Merge is great for getting an overview, it's very snappy (especially when compared to Electron Git UIs), and I love the merge conflict editor. It's not cheap, but worth every penny.

Isn't it free if you're okay with using it in light mode?

That's what I do. It works out pretty well. I'd really like to buy from them at some point.

Well, you can technically use it for free, but that doesn't make it licensed properly. It's like the infinite WinRAR trial kind of.
