Git is a mess, but popular tool and many peopled are forced to use it instead of some sane system.
- dozzie 10y ago> Probably because you have 10 years of experience? I was learning git a decade ago, and all it took was at most two days of reading. And yes, this includes the idea on how to rewrite commit history (actually another one, very low-level; I don't expect anybody to ever think of this way for the task). I didn't have StackOverflow or plethora of tutorials on web that are present today. > Git is a mess I keep hearing that, but once upon a time (seven? years ago) I tried learning Mercurial, this paragon of usability, and I couldn't figure out one of the simpler things: how to setup a repository to merge changes from two other repositories without specifying full paths. Given that, either I'm very smart, because I picked up git so quickly, but so-praised Mercurial "is a mess", or I'm very stupid, because I couldn't figure so simple Mercurial function, but then what does it say about people who can't read the fsckin' git docs?
