Are there alternative git command lines that keep the beautiful internals, but implement a more elegant and intuitive set of commands to manage it?

Check out jujutsu or jj (same thing). It's its own VCS, but it uses git as a backend, so it works with GitHub and other git integrations

Another vote for jujutsu. No one else needs to know you're using it. You can think of it as just a different CLI for git (although you shouldn't mix them). I used to use third-party interfaces like lazygit, but I don't need them anymore because jujutsu _just makes sense_.

Seconded jujutsu. It's 100% git-compatible and one of those rare birds that is both more powerful and simpler to use in practice due to rethinking some of the core ideas.
