Is it easier to learn the simple concepts of git and have transferable knowledge, or to learn your proprietary 6000 line bash script?


It's easier to support a company of users when everybody is using the vcs tool in a consistent way.


I suppose. I'm bitter because I worked at a company where they wanted git used a certain way, which is fine, manage the main repo however you want. The main repo should have some standards and I will follow them. (Preferably this will be automated to for consistency and to keep egos out of the process.)

However, they overstepped and gave me a hard time when they learned I was managing my own local repo how I wanted. I'm relatively good with git and would clean up my pull requests to meet the standards before submitting them to the main repo, but they still hassled me over the naming of my local branches and doing local rebases, etc.


That seems unnecessary. Maybe you made someone feel threatened.
