Yeah, as I said, avoid large repositories 
That was the feature I missed most when going from SVN to Git though.
By now, I'm used to it and my way of thinking about code has shifted.
I've written quite a lot about Git and I usually warn for how it looks like SVN, but works completely different.
When I went from SVN to Git things were not so good.
It was like SVN with extra steps that were more often confusing rather than not.
That was about five years ago and I know some of my former team ehhh... "mates" still struggle with Git.
By now I love it though, especially how easy it is to branch and merge code, especially with pull requests and code reviews.

Learn git - it will be worth the effort.
There's an interactive tutorial here:
https://learngitbranching.js.org/
You'll be able to use it locally for projects you just want history for, and you'll be able to easily upload to GitHub. Modern TFS instances are using git for version control because the old engine was so crap. Git won the vcs wars - might as well embrace it.
GitKraken is also quite a good gui client, though I tend to stick to the cli and only use a gui client for viewing history on files - and then it's most convenient to use the inbuilt client in webstorm and rider.
If you say that getting the money is the most important thing
You will spend your life completely wasting your time
You will be doing things you don't like doing
In order to go on living
That is, to go on doing things you don't like doing
Which is stupid.

When I have to use GIT (which is becoming most of the time now), I use SourceTree - the GUI Front End that makes it a little easier. I usually break something, so I have to call in a GIT expert and they fix it all up (GIT experts love fixing GIT problems). So, yeah, if you use GIT, git yourself SourceTree. Then, git yourself a GIT expert.

Git is now my preferred way of doing source code control. But the learning curve is ridiculously steep. If you have to get it together in a week, I'd say use Tortoise SVN or something.

Not so sure about that - it has appeared in most countries in the world.
Of course China got it right off the bat...

Apparently, McAfee have released a CoronaVirus update: You copy it onto a USB stick, insert it in your a$$ and let it do it's thing.
I suspect the cure will be worse than the disease though.

I noticed he hadn't been snarking at Insider messages lately, and when I looked at his account; it's showing disabled. I was a bit surprised by that; while I often disagreed with what he wrote, I don't recall ever seeing that approached let alone crossed the line into deserving administrative action. Which leaves me wondering if he had a bad day and posted something really stupid that got promptly nuked off the site before I saw it, or did he realize he needed to take a break and asked to have his account suspended because he lacked the willpower to stay away on his own. (I've seen several people do this elsewhere.)
Edit: Please don't regurgitate any embarrassing details.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I also noticed this when I wondered why he wasn't sniping at Windows-related posts on the Insider News.
He has sometimes pushed the envelope on political content and can get a bit vituperative, but I don't know what happened specifically.
