Right, if you want something complicated then it will be complicated, but saying that “take this commit and move it here” is complex is definitely false.
The point I’m trying to make is that I’m very opposed to people who go “the tree is so simple, if you understand it you’ll know how to use Git”. No, the tree is simple, the tools to work with it are not. None of the things I described have complicated end states, because in general you can’t tell how much work goes into getting to a particular from the final graph you get out of it.
not to be trite but the end result of this intuitive system seems to be to bolt on even more math and made up acronyms - both of which beginners really struggle with and most non college educated journeymen devs misunderstand coz of the esoteric nature of their education.
