Is it only me or is git terribly complicated? How is average Joe (or rather: average coder) supposed to handle it correctly?

- Hackbraten 5y agoIt’s not just you. Git is complicated. Some of the complexity is because of some bad UX decisions that were made early on. Those are difficult to undo. I’d recommend an average coder to practice, be patient, and not give up. I don’t think there’s a way around it. They’ll eventually get the hang of it, form a decent mental model, and eventually master the subcommands and switches they find most useful.
