I agree with the others saying to just go ahead with teaching him the CLI, however I also think you are overestimating the amount of work required for scoping out a GUI client. Pretty much all of the mainstream clients you could get dropped into and if you understand git, could understand the GUI within about 20 min of poking around.
I actually switched from CLI to a GUI a couple of years ago because I found one that was a pure UI over git (not trying to abstract it) and that had a lot of useful features that were difficult to do from the CLI. If looking for a GUI to check out, I’d really recommend sublime merge, created by the same people as sublime text. You can also see exactly which commands it’s running which makes for an easy transition imo.
With that said, I switched to Sublime Merge purely because of advanced features that were difficult in the CLI. For just learning git, the CLI should be totally fine.
Not trying to argue with you, but that sounds more like a rehab programme than a programme designed for someone who is fully able and just wants to start resistance training. The bar is generally a fine starting point for most people but smaller dumbbells could also be used if the bar was too heavy. Also, you should be squatting in a cage with safeties, which mitigates a lot of the risk when squatting. It absolutely should not take a healthy abled person a year to start squatting 20kg.
They’re likely just meaning it makes it harder to progressive overload. If you stick to a programme, you know it’s just about modifying weight, reps, rest, time under tension etc. But if you are changing exercises constantly, it can be difficult to know what weight or rep range will get the right results from that exercise since it’s not really comparable to another exercise.
Progress will _only_ be made with sufficient stimulus, and your body will rapidly adapt so the stimulus is not sufficient -- unless you do progressive overload (and ideally occasional deloads too)
If you’re interested, you should take a look at Sublime Merge. I switched to it a couple of years ago. Made by the creators of Sublime Text so it’s as snappy as you’d expect. And it has some surprisingly powerful tooling when it comes to searching the history (list all commits that changed a file and by a certain author etc). I also like that you can see a log of all of the git commands it’s executing behind the scenes.
I had a brief and rather complicated affair with Emacs some years ago. I tried Magit then. It was ok(ish), but could not understood what all the fuss about. Sublime Merge is so much better -- blazing fast and designed so well. Perhaps I'm not objective here, since I'm also a die-hard fan of Sublime Text -- the best editor for writing research notes, papers, prose, and code :)
If it makes you feel better to think I’m fringe and not just the more vocal portion of the vast majority of people, then you keep living in your bubble.
I know you're fringe, honestly it's weird having a cis person thinking about trans people so much. But even if LGBTQ support was in the minority, which I don't think it is; I'd still have morality on my side, which is all I've ever needed.
It probably would be fine but you should consider just playing BOTW. I don’t think this game will be a huge technical leap ahead given it’s a switch title anyway. BOTW holds up very well imo so you would be doing yourself a disservice to skip it.
