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....
