You and me both. Git is just so prevalent and fundamental to so much these days that I forced myself to use only a cheat sheet lying on my desk until I could comfortably use a reasonably productive subset by memory. Little did I know that that would make my colleagues think I'm some sort of git sage.
But jq I use maybe once a week, and it just won't stick. Same for any git features beyond basic wrangling of the history tree (but, on the flip side, that basic wrangling has eliminated 99% of the times I have to look things up).
