Probably, yes. Anything that does not require thinking in current Git-logic. I don't mind Git that much in everyday work but if something nicer came along, that would be great.

I do think that Git is very well established, and it would probably take a major player, maybe Azure or AWS with a cloud-based IDE to change paradigms.



Thank you.

I just realized something: maybe I can make it so regular file explorers work.

I had intended to use something like Fossil's checkouts. I could formalize it; each branch the user wants could be a separate directory in the repo directory.

While I hate that, people seem to like it. I think I will do it.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.


It's not impossible - https://github.com/g2p/git-fs did this a long while back and https://github.com/presslabs/gitfs did something similar too.


Good luck!
