Not sure why this appears to be been down voted. Git's command-line interface IS terrible. Certainly not unusable as most of interact with it every day.

A somewhat satirical example of this is Steve Losh's Git Koans.

That's not to say I don't think the underlying ideas of how Git works makes sense. I certainly think it's a lot better than RCS, CVS and SVN (never tired Mercurial).

Love it! The hobgoblin one should mention "deleting a remote branch" in contrast to deleting a remote and deleting a local branch.

I realize that Hacker News generally frowns on "+1" types of comments. But those Koans are really funny. Every single one made me laugh out loud. I remember the pain of git.

I hated git. Every time I used it I wanted to curl up in a soft, warm, dry space... like Perforce or SVN.
