I'm a pro with TortoiseHg so have all the concepts perfectly clear. Git is still hard with tons of command line syntax to look up and alias, no good GUIs, and poor error messages when things go wrong like Excel locking a file or not being able to pull. TortoiseHg lets me treat my commits like little bubbles on a graph and rearrange them at will. Git isn't trying not to be hard.
- mehrdadn 8y agoYeah, Tortoise makes life so much easier. :-) I just wrote about TortoiseGit here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17689294 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17689294
- Noumenon72 8y agoTortoiseGit has a GUI? StackOverflow convinced my coworkers that it was just a Windows Explorer extension for people who were used to SVN.
- mehrdadn 8y agoTortoiseGit is a GUI for Git that integrates with Explorer. You could indeed say it's geared toward people familiar with TortoiseSVN, though I'm not sure that paints an accurate picture of it. Unlike with SVN, I would argue you really do need to know Git on the command-line before you use TortoiseGit, but once you do, it makes life a hell of a lot easier than using Git on the command-line.
