I can relate, and I don't think there's a way around learning Git properly. Here's a quote from a post of mine:
> Version control is an underrated skill. Most software engineers use it daily, and yet, many are not willing to invest more than necessary to learn it. That’s fine, but knowing more than commit/push/pull will at least make you more efficient. It will also help you solve issues you (and your colleagues) may encounter.
I've had this issue a lot in the past, but mostly at work. So yes, I will spend the time to help my colleague debugging their issue. Eventually, they will get fewer issues, but the time I have to spend for their "learning by doing" would have been better invested in learning Git fundamentals.
I've also had some open source contributions during Hacktoberfest, and I went with the easy way out of doing the clean-up work myself. But as you've stated, people might not learn from this, so that's not optimal.
