I just hate Git. Does anybody else?

    Remember the days when I was using a script that every 30 minutes creates a folder "project_%date%", and I manually added to a log file the changes.

    Nope, but I do remember the days when I didn't know git or git was misused on my team

    I know git is good, excellent! But it's not the easiest tool to learn. :(

    I started with TFS and used that for years. Became skilled in using it and enjoyed it. When I needed to switch to git for multiple reasons I hated it and didn't really understand how to use it. However, now that I know how to effectively utilize branches to maintain a clean and stable master, I really appreciate how it works.

    @Swifticus Nice! So it's just a matter of time and practice. :)

    Time and practice and you most likely will wonder how you lived without it

    @turturtles I already have that feeling, but the learning curve is making me crazy!

    start with the desktop application (gui interface). helped me understand it before I started using the terminal commands.

    @felipebhz it definitely wasn't easy to wrap my head around at first. Didn't have anyone to teach me so I really just had to read some docs and do some things by trial and error. Merge conflicts were especially difficult at first. Visual Studio coupled with TFS really provides a solid way to handle conflicts and git wasn't quite as refined.

    I honestly found the git courses on codeschool.com the best. I had trouble wrapping my head around it until I completed the Git series there.

    I'm old, I like Subversion.

    I didn't like CVS, I didn't think it was much of an improvement over SCCS and a call to release a piece of code so I could make my own changes.

    I would like to thank everyone who suggested me to use a GUI tool for GitHub! It seems so N I C E now. Haha

    Now I know how to use it with Atom as well, so I can go to GitHub Gui Tool and change branches.

    Today I had my first experience with "messed up code and the turn back to a working one, without thousands cmd + z".

    :) I'm starting to be happy with Git.

    I actually can't understand how people can day that git is so hard to learn.

    @psion1369 its the command line that scares them... In fact, you see, when he tried to use the GUI he loved it!
    Anyway, what matters is that everybody uses it, in some way.

    @psion1369 @altermind For me it wasn't so much that git is super hard to use. It was the fact that I was very familiar with a different method of accomplishing the same tasks. I actually think the command line is easier to use in most situations.
