been on Linux mint for a year now and the only time i use the terminal is to git push to update my website. so far, nothing else I've been doing has needed the terminal.

Git does have a desktop version with a GUI, but the CLI is much simpler

does it? because I've looked and have only been able to find things that will tell me the status of my repository but not actually let me simply click a button to commit and push.

Oh, I assumed you were using github, my bad. There probably isn't a good desktop app for git outside of github.

I am using github though.

Keep in mind that if I actually try to look at github, my smoothbrain glazes over. I've only checked what's available through my package manager. I probably should have included that in the previous comment.

Ah, I see. If you look up "Github Desktop" online it should have a Linux version. I haven't actually used it outside of Windows, but I can't imagine it's missing committing/pushing to github, that's the whole point of the app! And yeah, github can be pretty daunting initially, there's a lot going on and it didn't feel intuitive to me initially either. I wish I had better advice other than just stick with it, but that's what I did so I don't know of any good guides
