As a sysadmin (as am I), you should know how git works so you can fix it when the devs break it. :)

What do you find difficult about it?

The format of a command is `git <action> <options>`, and the <action> is completely baffling to the RCS/CVS/SVN habits I've built up for the decades.

For the little while that I sometimes used Hg I found it much easier to get my head around.

It's mostly a lack of practice/use.

I just use a bunch of aliases to make sense of things. eg "new-branch = checkout -b" and "branches = branch".
