If the command and option names had just been sensible, it would be a lot easier to learn and use. Half the usability difficulty, maybe more, is just this.
- gjvc 5y agoComplexity is unavoidable in the long run, but must be engineered out in the short run.
- torstenvl 5y ago> If the command and option names had just been sensible Holy shit, yes. `git branch` in gitspeak really means `git branch list` in human-readable CLI But `git branch ${NAME}` does not mean `git branch list ${NAME}`, instead it means `git branch create ${NAME}` There is no `git branch switch ${NAME}` but instead it's `git checkout ${NAME}` There is no `git branch log` – that would be `git log`, whereas if you want what should be `git log` what you really want is `git log --all` Don't get me started on whether modified files are added, staged, or indexed...
