> Even though I grok git's mental model, I still can't answer the top-voted "git" questions on Stackoverflow without a cheat sheet This sounds like you just don't use or need those things much, which is fine if it works for you. Of the top 10, I can answer 9 of them without doing any research because I've used these commands a lot and they've become a part of my workflow. The one I'm missing? I've never renamed a git branch. If I needed to, I'd probably just do git branch --help or google it and figure it out in five seconds. You don't need to commit every command of the program to memory. Just like anything else in tech, knowing how to find the knowledge you need is good enough.
