Am I the only one that much prefers command line git to all these fancy tools for git? I'm more than happy with the power that terminal commands give alongside the visuals of branches and commits in bitbucket/github/gitlab etc...
Am I missing something by not using tools like this? I downloaded it to see if I was missing anything, and while it looks fairly pretty, I just cannot see the need for it. I have worked on some fairly large code-bases with many developers branching and committing and the good ol terminal has kept me up-to-date with what's going on. I do use the more graphical visuals in github/bitbucket as a reference to see how messy or clean the branching is and how far branches are straying from master or parent branches... but that's it.
I agree with you. The only use I've ever had for a GUI is to look at a branching graph, which is significantly easier with a good tool rather than the git command line. But I'd love to have a simple tool to just browse the branch structure rather than a full-blown gui. (I mostly use gitk for this purpose.)

Someone educate me.
