i cannot stand git. nobody is physically capable of explaining how it works and how to actually use day to day. the vocab seems intentionally chosen to be confusing -- 'push' and 'pull' are too similar and vague [edit my uni taught the tree concept first, and explained in such a way that i could never remember if the server would push an update down to me or i would push an update up]
bro what? literally most devs use it day to day and plenty of people know how it works. push and pull are literally opposites, and used to push and pull from a remote, how is it too similar and vague?
Some people know how it works, but no one takes the time to explain in plain language exactly how.
No surprise, given that it's made for and by software programmers.
But like know how it works for using it or know how it works...
Those are very different statements, and the latter is really unimportant
