Git is pretty easy to learn, mostly you'll only ever use about 5 commands. There's the ninja voodoo stuff, but you can look the up on stack overflow.

- stinos 12y agoGit is pretty easy to learn No generalizing please, this is not true everyone, maybe not even for a majority of it's users. I know enough people which after having used it for months still do not really grasp it. Sure, they can sort of get around with the 5 commands they need, but anything slightly beyond that and they are lost.
- Too 12y agoThe problem is that everyone will need the ninja voodo stuff eventually, most often during the learning phase of git when you easily hit some of the land mines and have to revert. Like when you commit to a detached head, change branch and loose one week of work. After we switched to git at work every single one of us, without exception, did this kind of mistake at least once the first month. Aborting "rebase in progress" isn't exactly easy either if something went wrong during the merge.

Git doesn't lose your commits that easily; they're still there, you just need to find them: http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/02/09/reflog-your-safety-net.html http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/02/09/reflog-your-safe...
- Too 12y agoI know you don't loose the commits but the initial feeling is that you do. My point was that to get them back you must use the ninja voodo tricks.
