i cannot stand git. nobody is physically capable of explaining how it works and how to actually use day to day. the vocab seems intentionally chosen to be confusing -- 'push' and 'pull' are too similar and vague [edit my uni taught the tree concept first, and explained in such a way that i could never remember if the server would push an update down to me or i would push an update up]
Is this a joke or are you for real?
