    I’m probably more of a git noob than you

    Doubt =D

    And more to the point, I do appreciate a good user interface with information at a glance or click instead of having to type out a command each time.

    Agreed with good user interface, my criticism was specifically for the vscode default git plugin which I was not compatible with at all but it could be just a me-problem

    Git has some counterintuitive commands

    Yeah… ‘git merge main’ weirds me out because my brain likes to think the command is merging current branch TO main instead of other way around

    Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined “git blame” outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain’s merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.

    Okay this sounds very good, so they actually improve git cli feature wise in addition to implementing GUI for it.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Going to check out if there’s git integration, because I couldn’t easily find it.

    Asking this because I’m noob, not elitist ass: Why a git integration in ide instead of using the cli? I’ve been working only on few projects where git is used, but the cli seems to be a ton easier to understand how to work with than the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use
