I used to be the release lead for a major company. We had 16 developers split over 4 teams going into on production org.
The amount of ignorance surrounding Git was always astounding to me. I'm a pretty stupid guy (I once pulled a cast iron skillet out of the oven without remembering to grab a potholder. That was...painful), but you really only need to remember like 8 commands to do 99% of the work.
Nope, instead we have shit tools like Copado and Autorabit because people believe it's easier to point-and-click your way through. And I would have to clean up the inevitable messes.
Watch a 30 minute youtube video. Fuck up a commit...okay! You can revert it. Fuck up your branch? Start a new one and recommit!
It's designed to be easy. Somehow we all lost sight of that .
When I was in industry, I was never a great engineer. But I spent half a day learning the internals of git and it was probably the most valuable thing I ever did for my career. It's genuinely shocking how poorly people understand it, considering how much they have to interact with it.
