I mean, I can - I know how, but boy having the GUI is nice. I can put a commit message title and a detailed message in a way that works well with my brain. Using two -m flags will never click with me, and yes, I had to look it up again just to leave this comment.

There’s a big difference between “prefers a GUI” and “incapable of/completely unwilling to use the CLI”

You can emit the -m flag and a Texteditor will pop up, so that you can write multi-line commit messages.
