The only thing I wish git handled better out of the box, with without any flags/setup, is large/binary assets.
LFS is ok but it still feels like a kludge to me.
The cli does not bother me, there are many tools that offer alternatives/overlays/UIs. Not saying it is perfect or even good, but it's good enough - for me at least.
- fargle 3y agoexactly right! lfs is "kinda okay?" at best. i just wish binary support was just part of git natively. honestly keeping the large binaries as loose objects would be fine except for performance. which should be something that could be improved with cow filesystems (lfs does use this, but limited by what git's implementation can support) or it may be enough to incrementally improve lfs, i do see that ssh support is showing up which might help a little. need to do something about smudge/clean filters too, which would require new support in git itself.
