Hey Tom, I read the blog post and the first thing I thought was that trying to teach everyone how to use the CLI was not the wisest way to go. Getting your brain wrapped around all of the things that happen in git (wait - why am I force-pushing after a rebase? How do I redact a repo?) is hard enough without having to fight through the CLI. It might be good to have a couple of git primers, and maybe even a git gui roundup to make the transition easier for people who are not familiar with git. One of the things we did with the framework I use with another development tool is automate some of the initial git configuration, including connecting hooks into one of the more popular text editors, the submoduling of the remote repo for the framework, generating the local repo, the .gitignore file, etc. I'd like to think it has helped people adopt the framework. It certainly has helped me set up projects 2..n without having to have a template that I had to copy and a bunch of steps to perform every time to get it running. Mainly I'm glad 4D is going this route (even though I'm not a JSON fan). Git has become an invaluable tool for us and our ability to manage all the source code we have across all of the projects we maintain.
