Yeah it was more a vent. I even tried to my post, but thought it would be dishonest too. As for reading, it's true, I haven't read a proper book but I have read through and completed about a dozen online tutorials, both paid and free. I feel like I definetly do understand the concepts, it's more that everytime I try to use it I get an error I must spend time investigating. Sometimes its straight forward and obvious, other times it's bizarre, like above. I take your point - theres no reason to whinge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
