Actually not trying to be a dick or a pedant, but is there a problem with just the git command? I've been using it since git existed so I don't really have anything to compare it to. The idea of finding another client seems a bit strange to me.

While the CLI provides the same functionality, it can be a lot easier to visually parse information or provide direct interactivity with a GUI instead. If you're working on a large project or just want a different way to display the information git provides, it makes things a bit smoother.

Generally I just use VSCode's source control UI when I want a GUI for git. I can't imagine using a standalone GUI for git when all the big editors have their own interfaces.

Oh same here, I'm not sure what the use-case for a standalone one would be but I definitely do prefer some visual over the command-line trees.
