That's a lot of commandline I don't normally have to bother with. And if I'm not living in the commandline then I only end up running git when I reach some milestone I want to back up... which I can do just as easily with 7zip without installing anything I don't already have, and I can copy archives to my NAS without having to set up some remote repo. You can try and convince me until you're blue in the face dude, but I've tried it and I just don't like it. End of story.
