Picked Git CLI over a GUI tool for my first project, no regrets so far

Started learning version control last month and had to choose between GitHub Desktop and the plain command line. I forced myself to use git in the terminal for a small portfolio site, even though it felt scary at first. Has anyone else gone the hard route first and found it actually made concepts like branches and merges click faster?

That "forced myself" part really stuck with me. It reminds me of how people learn to cook by using fresh ingredients instead of those boxed meal kits. Sure, the kit is easier at first, but you never actually learn why the sauce thickens or when the chicken is done. Same with git, when you type out every command and see what each one does, the confusion turns into understanding. So I think you did yourself a favor, even if it felt rough in the moment.
