No it isn't! It's so easy and effective for keeping track of your work and backups.

If you want the absolute simplest way to use git, just setup an alias to do:

  alias gcmp="git add -A && git commit && git push"

Now all you need to do is run gcmp every time you're ready to log the new state of your codebase. How could it be simpler?

git only becomes more complex as your needs become more complex. At which point I'd recommend using something like https://magit.vc/ which makes complex git operations far easier. The CLI can only take you so far effectively unfortunately.
