The biggest hurdle I had to learning Git, if truth be told, was my own aversion to doing anything that wasn't easy. It seemed difficult, so I dug my heels in and say "No! I don't wanna! It seems like friction and that's too hard."
The fact is, once I got over myself and sucked it up and got my head around it, it really only took 2 days of effort to grok what I was doing and now it's easy.
So biggest advice I can offer is this: Get over it and get on with it. It seems like a pain in the ass now, trust me I know, but you'll thank yourself for making the effort in the long run.
We have no choice but to "get over it and get on with it". But it DID NOT have to be that way, and that's what makes many people keep their resentment. It's like a kind of "hazing" experience.
Thankfully there are tools that make it less horrible. Git Tower and Visual Studio integration come to mind as examples.
It's sad, however, that there's not been an overhaul of the git commandline into something coherent and usable.
Ugh... the visual studio integration is HOOOOOORRRRRIBLE. I hated it. It didn't do anything to make my life easier.
You know what made it bearable? SourceTree, and I tried GitKraken way back when it was first launched in beta, it seemed like it was on the right track but lacked too many of the features at that time. I would highly recommend SourceTree though.
