CLI vs GUI
Command line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface that allows users to interact with a computer system by typing commands into a terminal. Unlike graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which rely on visual elements like buttons and icons, CLIs require users to input text commands to perform tasks.

Graphical user interface (GUI) is a visual way for users to interact with a computer or software application. It uses graphical elements like windows, icons, buttons, and menus to allow users to perform tasks without needing to type commands in a terminal or command line interface (CLI). GUIs are designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, making it easier for people to navigate and use software.

In most operating systems, GUIs provide streamlined ways to perform tasks, but CLIs offer more flexibility and control.
-
GUIs are particularly useful for general users who may not be familiar with command line commands or prefer a more visual approach to interacting with their computer. They allow users to click, drag, and drop items, making it easier to manage files, run applications, and perform various tasks without needing to remember specific commands.
-
CLIs, on the other hand, are often preferred by advanced users, system administrators, and developers who need to perform complex operations or automate tasks. They provide more control over the system and can be more efficient for certain tasks, especially when dealing with large amounts of data or performing repetitive actions.

Hi! I'm Alex, creator of GitByBit.
And this is Gitopedia—a reference that summarizes knowledge in my Git course.
Gitopedia is designed to be a personal knowledge base. When you progress through the main Git course in VS Code, you unlock all of these topics, one by one, bit by bit. This gives you time to digest the information and gradually build the mental model of Git. Here's an example of how it works:
Learning directly in VS Code lets you practice Git exactly as you would in real life, doing real jobs, writing real code. In addition, the course has access to your actual terminal, so it can point out mistakes, suggest workarounds, etc.
The course is FREE, there are no Ads or other bullshit. There are optional premium add-ons you can purchase, mainly to support my work (regrettably, I have to eat every day), but that's totally up to you.
