commit graph
A level is you typing real Git commands and editing files while the commit graph moves under you, all on one screen. That needs a keyboard and room for three columns.
Open it on a laptop and you will be rebasing within the hour.
--staged pulls a change back out of staging and leaves your file alone. Without it, restore overwrites your file, and that one has no undo.
Three panels, one loop. Nothing here can touch a real repository.
