Is it because of trying to use too many features? Or working with large groups and everyone trying to do too much?
I've been through 3 source control systems now, and Git is by far the easiest. I only branch, clone/init/add/commit/push/pull and merge. (And now most through the gui in vscode) There are some minor fixes I've had to look up, but it's rare.
Almost all the complaints I hear about are from very obscure commands and situations I've never seen.
Is using Git in a simple way the answer to everyone's problems with it?
- rgoulter 5y agoUsing Git only in a simple way isn't quite the answer to problems, because if you make a mistake, you'll still need to use non-simple commands to get yourself out of it. When my level of understanding of git was "add/commit/push/pull", if ever I made a mistake, I'd then have to try a more sophisticated command which would then risk making another mistake.
- pdimitar 5y agoAt one point you'll have a long-living feature branch which you'll have to periodically rebase with the main branch, and this is where nightmares begin.
