Linus built git for his own needs and that's fine, but in reality git for the majority of devs is not necessary.
- jomamaxx 10y ago"Most the people just use commit and push." And there it is: 'Git' has some amazing things, but 90% of time time, you want to do simple things. Git makes doing the simple, common things hard - and makes doing sophisticated things 'possible'. A 'good product' makes doing the common things 'easy' and the sophisticated things 'possible'. For what git does most of the time - there is absolutely no reason for the obfuscation and complexity. Hence - bad product design.
