Uphill:
ebrake is good until you get the feel for where the engagement point is
once you got that engagement point memorized, try without ebrake. Lift quickly to that point and then slow ur foot down and proceed as you would normally. What usually causes people to roll back is because they take forever to find the engagement point, slowly lifting up on the clutch. If you can memorize the engagement point, then you'll be able to minimize the lag between the green light and when you start moving.
Good way to memorize the engagement point:
sit on a flat street/parking lot. Put the car in gear, and slowly lift up on the clutch. The car will move as the clutch starts to engage, stop, and then clutch back in. Do this over and over without touching the gas pedal. Slowly lift up, and when you feel it move/engage, then press down on the pedal again. If you stall then you lifted up too far. Just get that engagement point memorized on a flat road, test yourself by having a friend say go at a random time and see how long it'll take for you to get moving. Once you get that down, then try the same practice on a slight hill, and gradually try steeper hills. If you spend a day or two doing this, I guarantee big big improvement.
