I still don't know it very well, and it's been well over a decade. I think it's a combination of a few things:
- I find it uninteresting. My version control needs are very simple.
- Most teams I have been in use a small subset of it.
- It's confusing terms and inconsistent cli are huge warning signs to not go down that rabbithole. Today instead of learning Git I read some Tony Hoare, much better.
I've been at once place where they rebased, and it was awful. Complete waste of time. (great place otherwise though)
- Hendrikto 2mo agoGive it an hour or two. It is really not that complicated. A little bit of investment will pay huge dividends. Do yourself the favor.
- LAC-Tech 2mo agoI could say the same for reading Tony Hoare.
- OneDeuxTriSeiGo 2mo agoHave you ever read any of the introductory material that the git project itself maintains for teaching how to use the tool? - https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - https://git-scm.com/docs/giteveryday https://git-scm.com/docs/giteveryday - https://git-scm.com/docs/gitworkflows https://git-scm.com/docs/gitworkflows - https://git-scm.com/docs/gitfaq https://git-scm.com/docs/gitfaq - https://git-scm.com/cheat-sheet https://git-scm.com/cheat-sheet Or if you want to sit down and really learn the nuts and bolts - https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
- LAC-Tech 2mo agoLooks like an incredibly dull way to waste hours of my finite life for microscopic benefit.
- OneDeuxTriSeiGo 2mo agoThe first five links (i.e. not the book) are each only a few printed pages worth of text each or less. All together they are equivalent to like a single chapter of text in a book. It really won't take hours. You probably read more than that just looking at HN for like 20 minutes.
