I'm amazed how much git f***ed up my project since i opened it the last time.

It just overwrote my local project with the Upstream, but also deleted my local classes completly. 2 days worth of coding almost gone.

Git is too versatile. Too complex. It hurts as much as it helps. I think we can do better if we keep things simple.

Maybe special frontends on top of git implementing different workflows. A few and limited set of commands for each.

I constantly get ridiculed because I rarely use git commands except for cloning a respository. I use the git integration in visual studio and the git flow work flow. It has worked well for me.

Still. Git hurts certain projects as much as it helps. I have been in projects which spent as much as 25% of its time on git related issues and gotchas. For them git was the wrong choice.
