That's what happens when people stumble across that website called GitHub, get hooked and now have unrealistic expectations for the real git.

"I just installed Git for Windows. Where is the drag-to-upload box?"

— A statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged

Real git involves a lot of sweat, requires you to clean up any mess you make, and communicate with any partners about their preferred techniques instead of rawdogging it and waiting for issues. The pushing and pulling will come naturally but you need to know how and when to release, and be clear about how you wish to commit. Nightly is an option but good luck getting everyone on board. People might judge you for using the word "master" but it should be alright in private.

I'm literally a software dev working for a top company and I can barely use git on the CLI. I do all of my version control operations using a GUI, so there's no sense in gatekeeping any of that. This is true of both my work projects and personal ones. It's cool if you prefer the CLI, but it is absolutely not a required skill in order to have a successful and meaningful career.

I agree that the gatekeeping isn’t a good thing, but you should learn at least the basics of the CLI. It will give you a better understanding of what’s going on behind your GUI and makes troubleshooting and fixing problems a lot easier.

Definitely not required but it is absolutely a skill worth having.

It's absolutely not a skill worth having. If you ever run into issues and need the CLI, you can always get your knowledge right in that moment. If you already can do everything with your GUI and get the same results, getting the knowledge to do it some other way is just wasted time and duplicate work.

It's not even about the CLI. it's about hygiene

I snorted. It was my inner 12-year-old's fault. (Also because of recently some idiots getting up in arms about these terms in technology.)

"up in arms":

Reality:
-- "just don't use them, some people find them offensive"
-- "ok"

Don’t talk about my mom that way
