If you can't use git I don't see how you're gonna do with other things. It's dead simple.

Solving merge conflicts or rebasing is not simple

Do it enough times and it stops being scary.

Using a tool like VSCode to perform the actual merges on individual files also helps because it shows what "yours" and "theirs" changes are from a user perspective, not a git perspective

The 3-way merge editor in VSCode is a fantastic tool. Really helps in visualizing what comes from where and preventing merge accidents.

It's doable once you know what you're doing. I can do it all via the cli, but I personally use gitkraken most of the time and it's just so much easier and more ergonomic.

I also see a lot of the Devs who insist they know what they're doing create horrible messes of their branches super easily via the commit tree. People should just use whatever works best for them to get the job done.

If it was dead simple you wouldn't need to learn 10 new concepts and google commands regularly even after using it for a couple of years. You probably forgot how you struggled at first. I have taught it multiple times and I see how beginners struggle.

I would actually say it's VERY complicated but in daily work you probably need like 5 commands and those aren't hard at all.
