Have you tried mercurial?
I haven't, but isn't it supposedly more friendly?
- JoshTriplett 10y agoThat reputation was developed in the early days of git, back before git added many of the usability features it now has. Today, mercurial isn't any more or less friendly; it's just a different model, which might or might not fit better with anyone's particular preferences about DVCS behavior.
- krupan 10y agoFalse. Git has improved, but Mercurial is still more friendly. The thing git has going for it is so many people use it and there is lots of help just a google search away. And you will need help.
- ams6110 10y agoI found mercurial's command line to be a lower hurdle coming from previous experience with CVS and subversion. But that was several years ago and I haven't kept up with mercurial for a while. Now I use git, and it still confuses me and I just rely on the magit frontend in emacs to do what's right.
