[Cueball points to a computer on a desk while Ponytail and Hairy are standing further away behind an office chair.]

Cueball: This is git. It tracks collaborative work on projects through a beautiful distributed graph theory tree model.
Ponytail: Cool. How do we use it?
Cueball: No idea. Just memorize these shell commands and type them to sync up. If you get errors, save your work elsewhere, delete the project, and download a fresh copy.

    I’m using Mercurial for the last 2 years at current company, before that it was 5-7 years of Git on various jobs. It’s so much better if you use it correctly (no long-living or big branches). I forgot what hell Git was sometimes.
