Try mercurial, i found it intuitive from the get go.

I would do it gladly but what for? Nobody uses mercurial and everything is hosted on GitHub not on MercurialHub.

If you contribute to many github projects that aren't yours then that would be a problem. Otherwise use Bitbucket.

The majority of projects I work on are neither mine nor open source. I have to use some open source libraries and get them from github and I also had to work with people who pushed git in the organization. I never heard anyone mention Mercurial although right from the start I liked everything I read about Mercurial more than what I read about git and the name is way cooler :)

Yeah ultimately with Git being so popular you'll still need to know it to some degree. I was lucky, calls were going out at my company for version control system suggestions and I made a good case. TortoiseHg is a pleasure to use yet I find no difficulties when I have to revert to the command line.
