I just came to say: I hate git with the passion of a thousand burning suns. There is no other open source software I hate nearly as much; not even Poetteringware. It's astonishingly poorly designed, given who wrote it, has an awful UI, and is just one big footgun.
Edit: honestly, I was expecting far more downvotes by now.
what UI?
The shitty set of operations and how they modify history. It's an interface, the same way that an API is an interface. User Interface =~ Application Programming Interface =~ Application Binary Interface. git's interface - the set of commands through which the user interfaces with the tool - stinks.
