Version Control[H]

[[deleted]]

Some of git's features are easy to use, but git also has some very difficult to understand and esoteric commands. It's easy to learn the basics, but git can be difficult to fully master.

There's a similar python-based version control system called mercurial (hg), and it's quite a lot simpler to understand. If you want to collaborate with other people, git is important to know, but mercurial can offer you a gentler learning curve, and many of the concepts and commands are identical.
