I hate git. With this I seemed to be a part of a very educated/intelligent community. Just from the fact that one cannot use git without stackoverflow one can derive that git sucks. git is not difficult. It is not documented and thus kind of unusable. Any documentation for git should start with enumerating the objects involved. I have yet to see such a documentation. For nearly everybody it is unclear what are the objects involved, other than working files and remote database. Any documentation for any verb should first state which objects it reads and/or writes.
