I don't totally disagree. I love Git and I find all these things very cool, but I know it's overhead a lot of people don't want. The post is on the blog of the new GUI that I'm trying to build to make the cool things that Git can do much faster and more straightforward, so maybe check it out if the CLI isn't your favorite thing.
Beyond a junior engineer, I’d expect an engineer to know more than the basics if they’ve been using git for their entire career so far.
Git is the power saw for software engineers. You don’t want someone who can’t keep all their fingers and toes anywhere near your code.
Not knowing git, when you’ve been interacting with it for years, is a red flag for me. I’m not expecting people to know the difference between rebase and rebase --onto, but they should at least know about the reflog and how to unfuck themselves.
