I disagree. Using Git (or any terminal interaction for that matter) is much like speaking a language. As a metaphor: you might be able to order two beers in German (zwei Bier bitte), but the moment the waitress asks you what brand you want it comes down to guessing. Some coworkers (across all experience levels) use Git this way. It's frustrating how slowly they learn and conversely, how inefficiently they work.
