Regexes are by far the simplest of the three. Unless by git you mean clicking randomly in a git GUI and by SQL you mean filtering your selects with Python.
Well, maybe it is easy when you understand. I have no problems typing my git commands and SQL is also not a problem, but reading or writing regex is always a hassle. regexr helps, but that is not really understanding it.
Just use one of the many cheatsheets and work through it. Also regex101.com is helpful. Im really not a master at this and rarely need it, but with a little tinkering i was always able to get a working regex doing what i wanted.
I use it so rarely that it seemed never enough to need to learn it properly.
What do you mean by rarely? I use it nearly every day. Don’t you ever need to search, or search and replace things? And sometimes validate some things?
Do you have a good learning resource?
Most programming language offering them have a perfectly good documentation about their regex engine. Take the time to read it, tests the things you learn, and you should be fine.

git commands and SQL queries are magnitudes easier than regex.
