If GUI is your thing, I recommend giving Sublime Merge a look. I absolutely love it. I've heard that there are similarities to Magit in the terms of capabilities, e.g. staging (or reverting) by line.
Given I've been on/off Spacemacs / Doom for years myself, I would definitely pay for a well-packaged isolated one-click-installable Magit as a separate git client.
alias magit='emacsclient -t -c -e "(progn (magit-status) (delete-other-windows))"'
Magit is insanely ergonomic. Like how easy is it to selectively stage portions of files in the git CLI? In magit it is usually just a few keystrokes. I wish magit-forge [0] had more features though - like I cannot create new labels from it. Please consider donating [1] to the developer if it has made your life any easier.

git add -p
Then you can decide if each hunk is staged or not.

Magit is an exceptionally well made interface to Git. Yes, it’s built on top of Emacs, and that might stop many from even looking into it. - I am glad I made a deep dive into Emacs last year, and although I stopped using it as an IDE (VS Code is just too good), I still come back to it because of Magit (and macros, general text editing and org-mode). Yes, I have an interface for Git in VS Code as well, but it‘s very r…

Open the diff, select the lines, right click, "stage selected lines".
I started using it recently. It feels more like a git app in emacs, you use it in a separate buffer from your files. The shortcuts are ergonomic (single key presses, no gymnastics with modifier keys) and mnemonics are good: s(tage), c(ommit), p(ush).
I also like git-timemachine for stepping a file forwards/backwards through commits (that's not part of magit, I just think it's neat)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

But how do you select lines / changes spread all over the file? Doesn‘t work via Shift or Command click.
It reads like it wants to convince you to try magit, without demoing a single example of how it's superior.
