Honestly I must have watched hours of videos and completed 4 or 5 online tutorials and it's still not clicking.
I understand the concept: that git is a sub-versioning tool. It makes sense. I know why one would use it. But every time I try to use it something just breaks or goes wrong or blows up. This has happened just this week, for example: - Got error saying I was on the wrong branch, when I wasn't (this just after a `git commit` command on a new branch). - After a being able to commit and push to github all last week, I randomly got a 'Connection refused' message (github.com was still up). - Went to pull 7 files from a branch but for some reason, this time, it pulled hundreds of files from the whole, broader project. - A few times I got kicked out of the branch after a failed commit and wouldn't let me return to branch because I had files waiting to be committed. Only way was to hard reset. - Saying there are merge conflict issues, but not showing what files there are on. - Files that were tracked randomly become un-tracked. These are a few, but in reality many similar problems happen throughout the day which really impacts my productivity. When I started, and studied, git I thought it would be pretty straight forward: pull the files you want to work on, make changes, push them and if there is a conflict error fix it. But it's complexity is beyond me. So, am I just cursed? What am I missing here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
