How do you work on the same project when you're in between two PC's in a day?
If you're on Windows, I'd start with installing official Git. It comes with a Git Bash CLI and what not. There are also third party apps like GitExtensions and TortoiseGit if you want more UI/shell integration.

Learning git as a beginner
Everyone's going to downvote this, but I prefer the GUI over the command-line. I use http://gitextensions.github.io/

Coolest projects, GO!
https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/releases/tag/v2.51.05 - nice little ui for working with git. unfortunately, v2.51.05 is the last version that I can confirm works under mono (it was the last 2.x version and they completely rewrote the code from scratch in the 3.x series. My understanding was that it lost Linux compatibility at that point).

Is using Git difficult or am I just plain stupid?
Git is arcane as it is powerful. Consider using a UI like Git Extensions to get better visualizations / understanding of what's going on.
One thing that's not immediately clear is that git is the same no matter what git client you're using - so if you're struggling to remember the commands and syntax and all that, don't be afraid to use a git tool with a UI to make it a bit easier. I really like Git Extensions as a free, open source GUI for git but others swear by the likes of Git Kraken and Sublime Merge.

Dangit, Git!?!
Seconded. Git Extensions has an option for each of the use cases the article talked about. Makes branch management and rebases/merges a breeze.

Starting my programming journey. Any suggestions?
Use source control for everything you do. I recommend git with (Git Extensions)[https://gitextensions.github.io/].
- I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!

Has anyone else seen this bizarre trend of developers refusing to use Git GUIs because they wanna 'git gud' at using the CLI?
I can't recommend GitExtensions enough. It's a very good UI tool that maps the CLI commands 1 to 1 for the most part. In fact, whenever you do something through the UI, it opens up a console where it shows you the command it just run. I think it's a very good way to learn GIT: UI to see the tree in front of you, but you also see the commands. By default I see at all times the tree, the diff of the last commit and/or the console where I can just type in my commands, it's smooth. http://gitextensions.github.io/
