You can use Git just like SVN. Just limit yourself to these 4 commands: * git clone * git pull origin master * git commit -a -m "ch ch ch ch changes" * git push origin master You really don't need to know any commands other than that, and if you find those too verbose, you can alias them. But then if you want the power of git branch and git merge, they are there for the using. I used to use SVN, and at some point I took the leap and converted to Git, and I am a happy camper. As we have more and more developers working on various branches and projects, the power of Git becomes clear.
