> The proliferation of tutorials, cheat sheets, books, front end user interfaces like SourceTree for Git is a symptom of a problem. This is a silly statement. This proliferationi of tutorials only indicates that Git has become a very popular tool and there's a lot of people who decided to take their time to write about it. If you happen to browse through those tutorials, they are essentially all the same, touch precisely the same basic and trivial use patterns, and are devised to help newbies get up and running in no time. Initialize a local repository. Check out something from a remote repository. Commit a change. Create a branch. Mergue branches. Pull from a remote repository. Push to a remote repository... That's all. Very basic stuff. In fact, can you come up with a single distributed VCS that is simpler and easier to use as Git and provides the same level of functionality? No, you can't.
