Does that mean that a less competent developper could write a more intuitive alternative in a few months ?

- rco8786 5y agoProbably! I think this space is ripe for exactly that to happen.
- IshKebab 5y agoAbsolutely. There's nothing fundamentally complicated in Git. The most complex things are the merging and diffing algorithms (but I presume the week-old git just used GNU diff and patch).
- a_e_k 5y agoMercurial?
- gaetgu 5y agoExactly this. I think that git is only popular currently because everyone else is using it. (That and GitHub).
- dhimes 5y agohg ftw!
- quartesixte 5y agoIsn’t it also because Linux itself is controlled by Git?
- hanche 5y agoOr fossil, built on top of SQLite.
- mabbo 5y agoIntuition is really the problem with git. Most developers that use git daily don't actually have a deep understanding of the domain model powering it. They don't know why it's doing things, or why they need to do things in a certain way. It's terribly unintuitive. But it's also so powerful that nearly every use case you might have can be done with it.
