I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

I use a mix of CLI, the Git UI built into VSCode, and Sublime Merge.

Sublime Merge is great for getting an overview, it's very snappy (especially when compared to Electron Git UIs), and I love the merge conflict editor. It's not cheap, but worth every penny.

Isn't it free if you're okay with using it in light mode?

That's what I do. It works out pretty well. I'd really like to buy from them at some point.

My thought exactly every time the little nagware window pops up in sublime text (obviously from the same creators as sublime merge).

"Would I like to pay for this awesome piece of software? Yes. Do I have the money for that right now? No."
