The team I'm on at work will be transitioning to Git within the next week or two. This quote is very relevant to what I expect we'll go through.
I've created a few documents on our Confluence, including a few video walkthroughs, but there's some resistance to creating and consuming documentation within the team. Not sure how to get everyone to spend sometime getting to understand Git before jumping in. The words "I just want to know enough to get through the day" have been uttered in our standups. I fear that if that becomes the general practice of the devs, we'll get into some sticky situations where git will be blamed due to lack of knowledge.
Has anyone else gone through such a switch? Btw, we're coming from a Microsoft environment where we use TFS and Visual Studio heavily. We'll be using a mix of SourceTree and Visual Studio Git integrations for most of the work.
