    What use is Github / a Github clone to you without knowing git?

        So what are you using it for? (Not criticizing, genuinely curious)

      Generally, I tend to think more in the direction of that there is some misunderstanding happening, then people being stupid. Maybe that is just the optimist in me.

      What exactly is meant when people say they don’t know git. Do they mean the repository data format? Do they mean the network protocol? Do they mean the command line utility? Or just how to work with git as a developer, which is similar to other vcs?

      I think if you use some git gui, you can get very far, without needing to understand “git”, which I would argue most people, that use it daily, don’t, at least not fully.

      The web interface is great and easy to use. I liked just dragging and dropping updated files to it, very simple.
