In my experience most beginners use a GUI like Atlassian Sourcetree or the Github desktop client. It's a lot harder to make mistakes using the GUI in my experience.
I still really like this idea though; eventually a subset of the beginners wants to learn the git cli and that sure seems scary at first.
I would like to see a GUI adopt these concepts. There's no reason why we should limit the commit graph display to only the current time, when we have enough information to scroll through its past states as well.
A year later I had probably learned how to force push correctly and took hold of it again.
However I do think the GUI is great for git and that’s why I use GitHub Desktop. It’s super simple. Most other GUIs try to wrap git concepts too closely for comfort.
It's not as easy to use as SourceTree, but since there's no SourceTree for Linux, it works well enough.
