Git is hard if you don't take the time to learn/teach it. As a checkmark on a resume, knowing git doesn't mean much. Most developers know how to branch, commit, push and pull. Maybe they know a little bit of reset to get themselves out of bad situations. We had one highly-skilled developer with a background in contributing to very unrelated FOSS join a frontend team once, adding a rule about avoiding merge commits in PRs. Within a month or so they all learned how to rebase and cherry-pick. Git as a skill needs to be taken more seriously, not something you learn on the way to doing actual work.
