> Do you really try to stick with the git CLI and memorize hundreds of commands and flags?? Why?!

Because IntelliJ is... less capable than it should be. Personally, I find `git add/commit -p`, `git diff` far easier to use than IntelliJ, and because Python is a fucking mess I had to install the codecommit git helper into a Python venv... but you can't tell IntelliJ to use that venv's $PATH for `git pull`/`git push`.

Oh, and you can't really macro complex stuff in IntelliJ, whereas I can do a single-command release and push-tag of a project with about 30 Git submodules in a (convoluted) Bash one-liner.
