I had come across this gem about understanding the vi editing model a while ago: "Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi." It's the top answer on this StackOverflow question: What is your most productive shortcut with Vim? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-mos... Wonder if there is any such post about Git that cuts to the chase, even for a part [1] of the Git model, and explains it clearly [2]. [1] I had also come across a StackOverflow post that explains a part of git very clearly, like the vi example I quoted. I think it was about how to roll back accidental changes using "git reset --hard" and variants. Saved it, but don't have it handy right now. [2] Note: I said "clearly", not necessarily "simply". I like to quote the (probably out-of-print) book by Abbe Dimnet [3] called The Art of Thinking, in which he said something like this (while deploring the trend of books that try to make things artificially simple, a.k.a. dumbed down): "French grammar cannot made simple. It can be made clear." [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Dimnet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Dimnet He also wrote a book on that same topic (French grammar made clear). Googled the former book recently and saw about the second book. I've read the first, long ago, which I found in a second-hand bookshop. Good book. Apparently it was a best-seller at the time it came out, according to Wikipedia. Quotes by him: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ernest_Dimnet https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ernest_Dimnet
