You know, a few years back I had exactly the same attitude towards Git. I hated it, tried to approach multiple times and still hated it. But after working with Git on multiple projects, and having developed some deeper understanding of how things work there, I honestly think now that Git is one of the best tools that have been invented over last 20 years for improving the development processes and engineering excellence. I don't really want to defend it, the learning curve is apparently pretty steep (at least it was for me), but I would just recommend to not give up and keep trying. There are some good tutorials how to handle it and why it's helpful (Atlassian's Git book, for instance).
