I don't think Git has a "terrible UX". It really is no less worse or better than any random CLI program. But yeah, I fear people have issues with Git because unfortunately they reflect upon their experiences with other SCMs (like Clearcase, SVN, RCS/CVS, whatever) and think the same terminology and concepts apply in Git and then it goes wrong. Git is not really rocket science to use. People who find Git difficult or nonsensical should spend 4+4 hours of their weekend playing with Git while reading Pro Git. It's available for free at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2. Specifically, read chapters 2, 3, 5, and parts of 7. You should intentionally skip chapter 10, more than likely you don't need it. Keep Pro Git handy and come back when you've a specific need.
