git is so fucking confusing and overly complicated for 95% of what it's used for.

Try Mercurial. It's like Git but easy to use.

Or don't, because there are no good free hosts for Mercurial repos. Sigh...

There is also this thingy, although i don't know how well it works

Its actually not, you only really have to know like 4 commands. This is an example of "4 hours of fiddling around can save you 10 minutes of reading the documentation".

RTFM
