I use git primarily via cli also, the text editor integration (with helix) highlights information such as what lines haven't been committed and makes it easier to access other files in the repo, the fish integration tells me if there's files that haven't been committed or commits that haven't been pushed without having to run git status

I do use helix but haven't taken advantage of the git integration. Maybe I'm unaware of its power. For fish, I defined my own fish_prompt function with an indicator if there are uncommitted changes. It's just running git status under the hood. I have a TODO in that function to run a pijul diff in the directory if git status returns nothing...
