It's one of the problems we are trying to solve. Git is hard, so a guided experience can prove valuable. See for more information https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47307 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47307 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/46122 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/46122 for example in how we are improving this starting with 11.1
