I forced myself to use git on my latest projects. And the more I use it, the more I love it. I can relate to all the git-love here on devRant.

We are now friends :3

@gitpush we always were. 😘

If only the UI were not that fucked up.

@Fast-Nop UI?

@Divisionbyzero Yeah, the CLI. It's not fucked up because it's CLI, but because it's a hap-hazard thrown-together CLI.

@Fast-Nop what CLI? Man, what are you talking about. 😅

@Divisionbyzero No idea how you're using Git if not via CLI.

@Fast-Nop through the console?

@Divisionbyzero So on the command line. Which makes a "command line interface", or short, CLI.

@Fast-Nop I am new to these abbreviations. Sry. 😅

@Fast-Nop so why do you think it's fucked up?

@Divisionbyzero Lack of orthogonality in the commands, too much different functionality via switches, too much internal workings exposed. These are hallmarks of bad user interface (UI) design. The problem isn't leaky abstractions, it's the lack of abstractions. But the underlying technology is quite nice, no doubt.

@Fast-Nop ok.

@Fast-Nop "no idea how you're using git if not via the CLI", why can't he use a GUI? GitKraken, SourceTree, etc.

@Nevoic Most people don't do that because you pay the easyness in regular use with much harder troubleshooting when you did something wrong.

That's why the usual novice way of working is to only use very basic commands, avoid anything advanced and delete/clone the repo when it doesn't work. From there on, you work your way up. By the time you actually have a complex workflow where a GUI would be nice, you are already so proficient via CLI that you don't need a GUI anymore.

@Divisionbyzero I will now push your code to your repo 😂

@Fast-Nop what's harder to do in GitKraken over the CLI? Never experienced such a thing lol
