This is definitely a bit snarky but you read any of the documentation at all, and therefore know more than a large percentage of git users about what it’s actually doing. Most people seem to treat git like some sort of mysterious orb which if you speak the right incantations will perform magic for you.

If you don't read the documentation you can't complain if a machine stays a mystery for you. Normally you don't get to use a machine without proving you actually now what you are doing.

Reading the docs is kind of a superpower for devs. With AI I think most technology is going to be treated like praying to the machine spirit.
