The system has actual complexity. Actual complexity can't be abstracted away without reducing functionality. I think git has a poor/opaque command semantics outside the basic functions and the API could use some work. I think that a new review or "most used/useful commands" and an evaluation of whether the API to accomplish them can be simplified.

There are other projects attempting to tackle that complexity; namely https://pijul.org/
