In my experience most beginners use a GUI like Atlassian Sourcetree or the Github desktop client. It's a lot harder to make mistakes using the GUI in my experience.

I still really like this idea though; eventually a subset of the beginners wants to learn the git cli and that sure seems scary at first.
