• I don't know why so many devs avoid a GUI for Git

• GIT GUI tool or command line?

  Instead on my PC I use TortoiseGit. Most useful for the git log (as a graph), diff with previous versions,, filter files to commit by directory and ability to exclude files from the current commit, and most of all; ease of splitting a commit for each single file into parts by ability to "restore after commit" which allows you to edit a file before the commit and have it automatically restored to the pre-commit...

• TexStudio - git integration for easy committing?

  If running TeXStudio in Windows, my personal preference is to keep the automatic check-in disabled and to use the manual one (File -> SVN/git -> Check in); this allows an individual commit message with the briefer abstract line, empty line, and the longer report. Perhaps it is less exhaustive then a proper git client (in Windows e.g., tortoise), yet TeXStudio' GUI and integrated version control allows to resolve... Source: about 2 years ago

• Committing to repositories

  The method to add the illustration to git, either from the command line, or via a GUI (for example TortoiseGit) should not have an influence how the image is managed by git itself. There is no "watermark" like stamp on the picture from which you later could tell if the picture, or the edit on the picture was committed from the CLI, or e.g., tortoise, either.

• Noob question: Does anyone use things like git gui?

  I started with TortoiseGit (coming from TortoiseSVN), then used SourceTree for a while (until Atlassian broke it. I hear it is better now), but I’ve settled in GitKraken for my work stuff where I need to maintain full histories while ping-ponging code features between many branches. I’ve heard great things about GitTower too. Source: over 2 years ago

• Dangit, Git!?!

  Personally, I use TortoiseGit because it's integrated into Windows shell/explorer, so I'm basically invoking things through context menu directly in folders and files, which I have constantly open anyway. But this probably isn't for everyone - it can be finicky. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How I created my Portfolio website using Hugo and GitHub pages?

  To start with I installed Hugo on my Windows 10 laptop (instructions here), I already had Git Bash installed, but it’s easy to install it from here. You may also choose to use a Git GUI tool like Tortoise Git. Next, I created a new Git repository at my GitHub account with the name [my-github-username].github.io containing just a blank README.md file (note that its necessary to name the repo this way, in order to... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
