"Learning something more advanced" is usually knowing how to fix conflicts, merge, and rebase. That can all be handled with the GUI. Even when you screw up, learning how to use the reflog can be done from the GUI.

From a GUI or any GUI? There are many, many GUIs implementing git and not all of them do it right or even well. A GUI is an abstraction and implementers are free to do it however they see fit. Not to mention having to deal with bugs in two separate systems.

Speaking of that, which git GUI is good, in your opinion? I tend to use Git from the command line, but had tried out a few GUIs for a project earlier, but not enough to decide. GitEye was one, another might have been SourceTree (IIRC it is from Atlassian).
