alt Hacker NewsThe 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.

You only have to learn three things to use a computer: Your shell, your editor, and your version control system.
That's it. That basic knowledge will carry you far, and will be useful a decade from now. Those are the three best afternoons you can spend. Do it out of respect for the computer.
sounds like someone accidentally delete your repo because they didn't understand git and did a dumdum :P
yeah I would really love to see a subset of git with a sane cli. would switch in a heartbeat.
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.

Absolutely everything in computing needs to be 'understood' to be used.
