So is this like an improved version of git with an easier command line syntax?
As in, can you use it for local gittering, or does it really require a connection to github all the time?
Because I don't feel good about this tool if it's basically another trick at lock-in. Git the versioning system is currently pretty open; You can use your own local repos, host on gitlab or github or your own server, and you really do roughly get the same experience from the command line.
Like, is this going to prompt me to host my local git repos on github? Not whether it can, of course it can, will it nag me?
People used to call these worries FUD but they also put ads in the start menu and turned telemetry up to 11, for an OS. I think current day it's a legitimate worry to consider. I haven't really had the misfortune of having to deal with such attitude towards users on the command line. But we'll see.
Or do they see "developers" as an audience to be treated differently than "end users".
