I agree with the author - many developers learn git (or version control in general) along the way, even though it's a fundamental skill needed for almost every project out there. This leads to insecurities, inefficencies and wasted time when (not if) something breaks. That's why our company training for new graduate hires consists - among others - of 2 days of git/github training. I love git (even though I might experience some sort of Stockholm syndrome), and while it's the most popular VCS, it is not an easy tool to learn and should not be condensed into "commit - pull - push - now start working on some tickets".
