Honestly, 99% of the pain of git is simply because people use it through the CLI. If you use tortoisegit or a visual tool, you don't need to worry about any of this because its self explanatory, and it becomes trivial to use
Learning git like this is honestly just hampering yourself
I’ve seen tortoise users break their repo, struggle to understand the issue and then push it through, making it everyone’s problem. Git language is screwed, you cannot unscrew it with a right-click gui because you basically click some latin-looking hieroglyphs that you don’t know either way.
I highly doubt tortoise or any tool can "break" a repo. This might be a sign that you don't understand git either. Now I'm sure it can lead to people who don't know what they're doing doing the wrong thing, but if they're allowed to push somewhere and make it someone else's problem, that's not their fault. They've been forced to use git, so there should be someone else who actually understands git.
