I always commit from the terminal. Never bothered with editor plugins for git.
Magit is err... magic, but the Emacs hurdle means many avoid it understandably.
I don't like git clients built into my IDE, my preference at the moment is Fork (though curse them for choosing that name, searching for problems with Fork is impossible)
Fork's great. If there's problems, I usually just check their issue tracker on github or email the devs directly, they're friendly and very responsive.
Same, I use vscodium, which kept asking for my git username/password every time I wanted to push, which was frustrating, so I just switched to using cli like a good Linux enthusiast
