There's actually a cool site called Explain XKCD that does what it sounds like: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1597 In a nutshell, ... due to the complex nature of Git (and its notoriously counter-intuitively named commands), a large portion of users are unable to use it beyond basic commands. They consider it usually much more efficient just to save the code to a different file, download a newer copy, and then re-apply their original changes to the new copy than to try and understand and use Git's own convoluted built-in commands to attempt to fix it properly.Git is a version control system often used to track changes to (usually) plain text files, such as computer code.
