I'll just note that git is not the only distributed version control
system, and others like mercurial and bazaar are often considered to
have better user experience. GitHub is popular, and there is value in
that, but we'd be doing you a disservice if you came away with the
impression that git is the only viable choice, especially for a personal
project.

I'm sure you can find various posts on the web listing the drawbacks of
each DVCS as learned from time using them. :)
