We have been finally migrating to git for source control. We've got the source for a product in a git repo, and I'm modifying our automated build (a Windows service written in C#/.NET) to use git for this product instead of *cough* SourceSafe *cough*. Stop your snickering, dammit.
The updated builder works fine on my machine. When I installed it on one of our servers, git clone fails with some weird authentication messages. I fiddle around for a while getting nowhere, and then break down and enlist the aid of The Youngster. The Youngster is fairly fresh out of school with only a couple years of experience, but very sharp and knows git well. He set up our GitLab server which works a treat. He gave us a nicely-done PowerPoint on how to set up a machine to run git for us.
It really, really is a good idea to follow all of the instructions so helpfully provided  .

Git is unusable. VSS is too. And Subversion of course.

We've used Visual SourceSafe since 2000. It's worked okay largely because I'm rigorous about backups and regular maintenance.
I don't 'get' git yet. That's going to take time and plenty of day-to-day experience. My impression so far is that the command-line interface grew as a yeast culture. The developers added or changed things as they occurred to them, and there's no rationale or consistency as a result. The GUI operations provided in Visual Studio 2019 (we're not using 2022 yet) are the bare minimum you need while working on your code. I haven't tried them from Visual Studio Code yet, but I expect better support there.

I never used VSS, but back in the 90s the company I was working for considered it as a replacement for CMS (OpenVMS) and found it lacking.
TFS is probably the next best option.

You'll probably get a ton of recommendations for git GUI clients and, as they say, "de gustibus non est disputandum", so I hurry to put my own preference before you get flooded  . Give a try to TortoiseGit[^].
I went through a similar migration path a few years back (well.., maybe 10... no, more like 20 ). I was so fed up with SourceSafe that I moved to CVS and that's how I started to use TortoiseCVS, the precursor of TortoiseGit. After a few years (about 9 or 10) the last dinosaurs in the company realized they were flogging a dead horse and everyone moved to Git. The only history that survived was the one I had in my CVS server. All SourceSafe stuff had to be scrapped. I hope you managed to save more from your history.

It doesn't help that a Pull request is what most of us understand to be a code review then a Merge, while a Merge in Git is an operation in its own right - took me a while to get things(having moved from SVN) and GitHub still occasionally catches me out with the "Where do I click to actually see the diffs for this branch?" question.
I had previously used trunk based development with Git which is straightforward - it's just a bit more complex working with branches and the almost inevitable and horrible merge conflicts when working with Pull requests in a team. I also wonder if it might be an age thing with the young'uns being happy with all the shiny complexity.

Git has a steep learning curve, but it is worth it. I used SourceSafe and SubVersion in the past and think Git is much better.

Perhaps you and the "youngster" could collaborate on an article for CP ... which i am sure will be popular ?

No snickering re: Subversion. It was so much better than Visual SourceSafe....

Although businesses use git I do not consider it a valid source control system for any beyond the trivial enterprise.
The problem is that labels can only be applied to the repo.
A repo works fine for open source. For example junit/nunit where there is only one deliverable.
Business enterprises often consist of multiple products even when presented as a single visible product/service. And businesses often end up using 'libraries' which are shared.
Naturally a business could put a library into its own repo but that is often (always?) more work than anyone wants to do because then it requires handling that library as an independent deliverable. Which they don't want to do.
That is not a problem with other source control systems because a label can be applied to part of the source control tree. Thus one can pseudo manage that library without formally managing it. Which is about all one can get most developers to do.
But you can't do that with git.
