I don't know why, I always prefer using the CLI for everything except merging PRs - I always use the GUI for that. Maybe pressing the button makes it feel more official somehow... one last chance to check things over.

This command reference sheet is very helpful, thanks!

That green merging button has a long legacy. It is definitely linked to making big changes work (or fail when something was missed 👀).

When a CI testing suite is set-up it gives more confidence to merge by cli. It's one my favorite timesavers as it automatically deletes the branch on github and local. A few second here and there, over again.
