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.

JetBrains have some quite extensive VC tooling built into their IDEs which I use almost exclusively. I used to do everything in the terminal, but I find it so much quicker and simpler to do it directly in the IDE.

@Perry came here to say this. Jetbrains does a great job with their vcs integration. I use cli most of the time but if I need to poke around or visualize something those tools work great.

With you on this as well. Ever since starting to use JetBrains IDE's I've rarely had to step outside of them for anything but the most complex operations. Even then I'm still likely to use the in built terminal that comes with it.
