Can you perform Git functions using the Git GUI? #688

I know you have not discussed about the Git GUI.

Can one use the Git GUI to perform Git functions (create branch, merge conflicts, etc), instead of using the command line?

The Git GUI can do many things. We focus the class on the command line tools, since they work on every system; the Git GUI isn't always available. The terms, concepts, and workflows we cover in class will work with any GUI application; if we taught class with a specific GUI (even Git GUI) those concepts/workflows wouldn't always translate 100% to any other GUI/application.
