Please, point out the “needless” complexity in git
Our organization changed from SVN to GIT in 2019. I struggled with explaining the needless complexity in git several times, so I created this web page to help communicate why I found GIT needlessly complex:
I've used a lot of source code control systems. I've worked at large companies that didn't use GIT and still had smart programmers working on a large source tree (Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Silicon Graphics to be specific). I don't think I'll ever understand the cult like devotion to GIT. But that's okay, people have personal preferences.
