"Using Git on the terminal using the command line is, by far, the preferred way to interact with repos. Why? Transparency: You see exactly what's happening. Speed: Fewer clicks, no mouse gymnastics. Scriptability: Automate repetitive tasks. Portability: Works the same across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Less mess ups: If we're honest, this is actually the main reason -so many people have had bad IDE/Git GUI experiences that many prefer the CLI"
"Inside that directory, create a subdirectory for your GitHub user. mkdir github.comcd github.commkdir your-namecd your-name Clone your own repos and forks to your subdirectory. Create subdirectories for other users and orgs whose repos you clone. For example, if you clone a repo from github.com/YakDriver, create a YakDriver directory inside github.com. Then clone the YakDriver repo inside the YakDriver directory."
The command-line Git workflow offers transparency, speed, scriptability, portability across macOS/Linux/Windows, and fewer GUI-related mistakes. Graphical IDEs like VSCode can obscure actions and encourage sloppy choices, so learning CLI operations improves control and reliability. Maintain local organization by creating a github.com directory and subdirectories for each GitHub user or organization, and clone repositories into their respective folders. Create a new repository on GitHub (optionally with README, license, and .gitignore) and then clone it locally. Follow CLI-based steps to make local changes and push those changes to the remote repository.
