From InfoWorld: Gitless, an experimental version control system built atop Git, could make life easier for developers who find Git difficult to use.
"Many people complain that Git is hard to use," the project's web page states. "We think the problem lies deeper than the user interface, in the concepts underlying Git. Gitless is an experiment to see what happens if you put a simple veneer on an app that changes the underlying concepts."
Because Gitless is implemented on top of Git, users can always fall back to Git. "With Gitless, you get a version control system that's easier to learn and to use than Git while retaining much of what makes Git so popular," developer Santiago Perez De Rosso said.
Gitless is compatible with Git -- every Gitless repository is a Git repository -- and Gitless can be used in Git repos without having to do any migrations, meaning co-workers can keep using Git if they prefer. Thus, developers can focus on building software rather than spending months learning their version control system or spending hours trying to get their repository back to a "sane" state, said De Rosso, a student at MIT.
