I have no problem with letting an IDE or LLM handle those details in practice... but I don't think I'd want to work with someone who doesn't understand the very basics of what's going on under the hood.

The GP said "open a PR", not "make a commit and push it to a remote".

Why should anyone care? This is something that can be taught and learned in 2 minutes.
Years ago I was the “git expert” on my team, the person you went to when you got into trouble. But I have long since moved to jj, and I basically don’t remember git commands anymore. I also don’t use GitHub much, so when I need to open a PR I prompt an LLM to do it for me.
