The git command-line interface sucks

When I use git, I'm scared I'll break something. I just talked to an open source celebrity who has used git for 3-4 years who avoids using the CLI because he's afraid he'll break something, and uses Tower when possible. I recently had a client accidentally delete their work because they didn't understand git. My fear of breaking something is well-founded.

You can't put a price on the confidence that source control is supposed to give you. That confidence suffers when people are afraid of causing irreparable damage during normal use.

This article lists a few ideas on what git can do to improve.

Here is an example styleguide made from this starting point

This styleguide follows my styleguide for styleguides. That means it follows the following rules:

• Focus on readability.
