Discussion on: Do you use some kind of GUI for git, and if you do, when do you have to resort to terminal?

For add/commit, I prefer to use the VScode tab because It’s easier to see what changes.
For git push I use the vscode action menu (ctrl+shift+p) so I don’t have to open a new terminal.
For search in a file history I use the awesome Git History Diff extension.
For more complex searches (like –grep…), I use the terminal and the Git History Diff input ref command to visualise the commit
