I think the lack of UI is the main reason for all the jokes about git being horrible to learn. Fork is a pretty good client, and there are also some pretty good VSCode plugins to show you how all the commits and branches fit together.
Even git ships with git-ui. It's not great, but just goes to show how well informed and valid your criticism is.

Tbf I've been using Git for at least 10 years and I only just discovered this. I think nobody talks about it because it doesn't show history which is 90% of the reason to use a Git GUI.
What do you mean it doesn't show history? It's perhaps the only thing it handles better than most third-party git GUIs.
git: 'gui' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
If you're going to try to smack talk like Linus Torvalds then maybe check your facts first
