This is self defeating, if git was easier to use your team members could take that extra day and learn something more valuable.

Just because something is hard it doesn’t mean it’s worth doing.




How much of git is actually that hard though? There are definitely some extremely dark corners in git, but most people really only need 4 commands (add, commit, push, pull) to get started. Once you start needing to do more you start to incrementally adopt features. I’m not trying to trivialize git because it’s obviously complicated. I’m not sure I accept that someone can’t be productive with git in a reasonably short amount of time.
