When has that ever worked? And why does this count as a solution rather than a poor workaround for you?

What has ever worked, reading and following manuals? Like, forever? Stop pretending there's a simple solution. People just need to use their brains. Both people who write those manuals and those who read them.

There literally already is a simpler solution for non-technical people, it’s called Perforce and tons of game studios use it

But I’m sure you’re smarter than the whole industry so you probably know better

Hey smart man, this is a thread about git, not perforce. Just fyi.

Since forever? It's not like people are born with an innate knowledge of how any software works.

Manuals/guides/tutorials are the most scalable way to teach people how to do literally anything.
