I think there is value in summarizing the thread and opening a new discussion here: - short names for uncommon operation, long names for common ones (e.g. cherry vs cherry-pick) - lack of undo - the usual discussion about the terms index, staging area and the "add" command. They all look not consistent. - 'git remote' has sub commands 'rename' (but not 'mv') and 'rm' (but not 'remove') - git remote add -f blub WRONG_URL fails but you still have to remove the remote before you can try again to add something.
