Forgive me as I'm a bit of a noob but as it is I'm using git bash on windows.

Any reason I'd bother to switch to this?

This is not a "git" CLI since git already has a CLI. This is a CLI on top of a CLI that directly interfaces with Github (a VCS provider).

Basically, it's for the terminal geeks that don't want to bother with using the web interface of GH for daily tasks.

Oh I got it now, thanks. Two different ends of the workflow.
