Git is just a tool, or better, a toolset for software development. Saying that it is too hard to me is a huge red flag. It means you do not want to spend the time, or the effort, to learn it.

It's like a mechanic saying that a wrench is too complex.



I think your analogy is a bit reductionist. The difference between git and a wrench is that the wrench presents almost all of its intended uses. I can quite confidently say that most people will understand it within a few minutes.

Git is like CSS in the sense that for experienced users will sometimes forget the difficult learning process they went through, e.g. "oh use margin auto to centre the div"

I've been there, finding git too hard and giving up, but I've came back to it and eventually got past that uncomfortable learning bump.
