We Need to Be More Honest About Git
Git is powerful, widely adopted, and almost impossible to avoid, but that does not make it intuitive or well suited to everyday development work.

This article examines why junior developers should not be ashamed of finding Git difficult, why senior engineers quietly create backup branches and ZIP files, and why teams should simplify their workflows instead of pretending the tool is easy.
