I can't help but feel that Git has completely missed the forest through the trees that you can make a 30+ part guide explaining how to use it.

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 feel like when people talk about replacing programmers with AI they are talking about people who can’t even grok git
