    Those first couple months learning git… yeah, it is weird, but once it clicks… you’ll be surprised how truly simple it is.

    The programming world would be awful without it

      Learning git was like every other cool tech thing for me (including the fediverse). People explain it in such a convoluted way. It’s like they think you want to understand the deep theory of it before you get up and running!

      Yes, git is more than just a “save box”, but really, new users should absolutely just think about it as a save box. Learn the fancy shit later.
