An incredibly large portion of my life is artists coming to me asking for help with git, and I'm like ah! Something in my home territory! And then it turns out they're using Github Desktop or some kind of GUI and I can't actually help them because I only know how to use the command line and the GUI is subtly conceptually different

@mcc see I know how to use svn CLI because that's what we use in the CS program at my university. I'm mildly confident that it would transfer into knowledge of git CLI (I have used it before) but I almost exclusively use the git integration on VS Code for my personal version control needs, so who knows 😭💀

@wishgender git and svn are very different command line UIs. Mercurial is closer.

@mcc ah good to know😅I've basically only used git CLI to clone repos and other surface level stuff atp
Thanks for the correction!
