Git is indeed hard, but it’s also far too easy to screw something up, sometimes irreversibly. Before I became much more competent with Git, I used to spend far too much time trying to figure out how to undo or fix things. My strategy eventually became “just be extremely careful with everything”. That said, I have learned to judiciously use GUI tools such as those built into IDEs, but I have had to make conscious efforts to understand the commands they’re using underneath. Let’s also not forget that version control — and any kind of synchronization — in general is hard.
