I just need a GUI or some sort of visual reference. I have trouble picturing what exactly is going on with each variant of the command. I've been able to fuddle through it every time I do some programming, and when I used Android Studio there were some GUI tools to use but otherwise I always get so confused. I think using IDEs would help in other projects but that's a thing that keeps me from doing programming projects on the regular.

Get Sourcetree

Nah, sourcetree has annoying bugs that never get fixed.

Use Fork, it's a better sourcetree.

It's free the same way that Sublime Text is: They'll ask for a payment once a month, but you can say you're "evaluating it" and use it for free. If you like it enough, you can pay for it. I have.

Cool thanks, I never heard of that one before, I'll try it out
