As an ardent git user who has converted multiple teams to using it, I could not agree more.
Git has an absolutely atrocious interface, at every level.
The power it gives you once you've mastered it is probably worth it, but I'm not sure of that, and I think a much better UI that still retains a lot of the power (and adds more horsepower, even) is very possible.
- di4na 6y agoI never said that it was not useful or that it was not better than any of the competitor solutions. Just that it was bad. It can be quite bad in itself and totally better than every other solution.
- NateEag 6y agoUh, I was agreeing with you. "Quite bad and totally better than every other solution" sounds about right to me. With the caveat that it's apparently a worse option than Perforce and Mercurial for huge monorepos a la Facebook and Google.
- signaru 6y agoSome popular Git GUIs are also lacking in one way or another, or you just get stuck unable to accomplish what you want. And those who reason with me otherwise, had their client (Sourcetree) installed by their administrator. Especially as Git beginners would likely choose the GUI approach. I've tested several of the popular ones, but the only one that got me accomplishing things, given I'm a beginner, is Guitar.
