is it recommended to commit files through SourceTree or use the commit function provided in Intellij instead? or does it not matter at all?

""" If you are new to Git, we caution you against using Git or GitHub features that come with the IDE as it is better to learn Git independent of any other tool. Similarly, using clients provided by GitHub (e.g., GitHub Desktop GUI client) will make it harder for you to separate Git features from GitHub features. """ Seems like SourceTree is preferred

It doesn't matter so much if you know your way around with Git. How you make the commit is not critical; making relevant commits is 🙂 The suggestion posted by @joshuan98 is more applicable for someone starting off with Git.

IDE's interface can be a bit "different" and confusing to some.
