Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I’d back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.

It’s easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It’s the dark souls of source control, except it’s not really fun. It’s just a very beginner unfriendly tool.
