With git, people are confusing intuitive with simple; once you build up a good mental model for it, you can be very effective. Prior that is painful.

- nobody271 8y agoI think I've got a good mental model of it. It seems like every action you need to do is a whole new thing to type into the command line. Maybe you could say it's like learning Chinese in that each word gets its own glyph as opposed to english where you build up words with characters (which are atomic). I have most day to day commands memorized but beyond that I have to google and possibly even do a full fledged search to get the command. That wouldn't happen if you could guess what the command might be or maybe if commands were grouped hierarchically or even better if I never have to think about version control at all, lol.
