Git for the nervous developer (10) > Explaining git from a convert > http://beust.com/weblog/2010/04/06/git-for-the-nervous-developer/ This quote from abovementioned blog is especially apt "Here is an analogy that might help, though: to me, learning Git is very similar to learning a foreign language. Natural languages are notoriously hard to learn for adults because their organic growth has resulted in all kinds of inconsistencies and oddities. At the end of the day, the only way to learn a foreign language is to memorize, memorize and memorize. As years go by, practice make memory regurgitation more automatic and the use of that language requires less and less conscious effort, but the learning curve is something that just can't be avoided." The Git UI was result of organic growth. It is not as much as it was designed, rather than "happened". -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
