I use Git the best I can (read: I am by no means Mr Git). I try to read these type of articles and I too often feel inadequate (i.e., there's not enough explanation on what, why, and why that matters). Real life examples would help a lot. Else I have to try to imagine the appropriate situation for each recommendation; and frankly I can't always do that. There are more possible scenarios than I have experiences. There's got to be a better way. Does learning and/or using have to feel so complicated?
