In 2025, source code version control is incredibly complex. Hell, it was already complex 15 years ago, but the tools were probably worse! Have you ever seen the full manual for GCC/Clang? It is nuts. FFmpeg is legendary hard to use from the command line (no hate on Fabrice Bellard -- you still the man). Same for ImageMagick. I don't fault Git for it. If you want fine-grained control over every single possible action... well, you will wind up with a command line tool with an insane number of options.
