I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the “distributed” mindset didn’t happen overnight.

    If you use the git command line (and I do) you should spam git log --graph (usualy with --oneline).

    And for your filesystem example I sure do hope you use tree!

      Yeah… but that’s just a poor man’s GUI. Why use that when you can use a proper GUI? The only reason I can think of is if you happen to be in a situation where using a GUI is a bit of a pain (e.g. SSH).
