You made me chuckle. But let's all agree that learning to use git is a ball ache and isn't very intuitive. Throw repositories into the mix and lay people just aren't gonna get it. I think using git should be taught in highschool IT classes though, most people will never use it, but it will massively help those who do need to learn it.

Frequently repos say "git clone [repo url]" which i think is enough for most people to copy and paste. I'm a programmer and usually I just click things in my IDE to do git work for me so I'll agree its not an easy thing to use.
