The part where git needs to be “understood” is the entire problem. “Do one thing and do it well” was the whole mantra, which was completely ignored with the disaster that is git. It’s objectively awful.

It could be so much better. At the same time, it’s one of the core tools for a developer. You’ll learn it eventually. You’re going to be using version control for decades. I’ve met devs many years into their careers who don’t understand rebase. It’s like going to a metal shop and they’re complaining about the learning curve on their welder and half the tradesmen are still at a novice level.

		I still don't know it very well, and it's been well over a decade. I think it's a combination of a few things: - I find it uninteresting. My version control needs are very simple. - Most teams I have been in use a small subset of it. - It's confusing terms and inconsistent cli are huge warning signs to not go down that rabbithole. Today instead of learning Git I read some Tony Hoare, much better. I've been at once place where they rebased, and it was awful. Complete waste of time. (great place otherwise though)

yeah I would really love to see a subset of git with a sane cli. would switch in a heartbeat.
