Another gui client, such as Git Fork. Much easier to fine tune what I commit, and see commit history, with a gui client. Certain things are better to do in the command line, but I really don't get why so many people hate gui clients
I think for most people it's whatever you got used to first. I agree the hatred the GUIs get is overblown. I would always recommend people learn the command line but if you want to use a GUI, go for it, doesn't affect me unless your commits are bad, in which case the CLI wouldn't have helped anyway.
