poll: do you use git on the command line or in a GUI?

(you can pick more than one option if it’s a mix of both, sorry magit users I didn't have space for you in this poll)

@b0rk I voted command line + GUI, with the latter being for my Magit usage (and I guess Github blame view). I use the command line for pull, rebase, log, diff, and many blame operations. I use Magit for committing things, especially selective commits, and thus for checking diffs before I commit and so on. (And some use of git-timemachine in Emacs to move back and forth through the history of a file to track things.)

But my git use is odd since I track and monitor a lot of upstream repos.

@cks @b0rk I never understood how people can live like that... clicking... instead of just running the command.

@anime @cks @b0rk That said, I commonly cheat by
git blame foo.py > x.blame
gvim x.blame
There you go, GUI. But also, not.

@pro @anime @b0rk The Github blame view has two killer features for me for picking through the history of changes to something: it gives me immediate access to the commit and especially a 'git blame' view of the file as it was just prior to that change. The latter is extremely compelling for jumping back through the history of a function or a constant or etc (which I do a lot as I try to understand something in other people's software).
