But are these things a normal user would need to care about?
I bet if you created a great git desktop app with outstanding UI it would still have a few corners 99% of users would never touch or understand.
- _dain_ 5y ago> But are these things a normal user would need to care about? ... yes? I've used all three of those commands in the past, although I don't remember what they do. and I'm hardly a git expert.
- globular-toast 5y agoHow to undo a change or revert to a previous version? That sounds like a pretty fundamental thing that a user would need to do, yes.
- zibzab 5y agoIt is usually as easy as "git checkout ID". If that doesn't work you probably have done something really bad to begin with.
- ethomson 5y agoThat's probably not what you want. Checking out an ID would put you in a detached HEAD state, and the CLI will give you the page of warning messages that go along with it. I think that this is an excellent reminder that yes, the git CLI is not simple or obvious.
