Git doesn't have much of a user interface because it's target is developers who want to use the command line. Git is confusing until it's not, and then it's awesome.
It's kinda like you're using wget to surf the web, and complaining that it doesn't have a GUI.

- niggler 13y agoGUI != UI parent comment is arguing that the command-line interface is nontrivial, which is a fair criticism. Contrast with 'cp' or 'mv'
- tingletech 13y agoTo use wget, I often need to read the manual or look up some notes to get the exact command I want.
- jhaglund 13y agoWell, go right ahead and use cp and mv for your source control! No one (except maybe linus) ever said git is easy. But it is flexible and powerful. Anyway, this whole thing comes down to the user ignoring clear warnings. It seems clear to me that using "force" can break things.
