I understand that Git is a fairly complex utility. But you can accomplish a lot just memorizing about 5 Git commands and what they do. Besides, if you decide to use an abstraction such as this one without understanding the plumbing, what do you do when 'git sync' fails due to conflicts?


The purpose of Legit is to save time for developers that know Git well. It is not intended to be a shortcut for newcomers.

When a merge fails, it gets you out of the merge conflict state and prints a nice message about what to do next.


The same thing I do when my hardware misbehaves and I don't understand how it works and why it failed.

Just kidding. Argument by Reuction Ad Absudum is fun, but in this case, you make a good point. There is a difference between a utility designed to make someting you understand easy and a utility designed to put an easy-to-understand facade in front of something you don't understand.
