I don't know if anyone felt the same way, but I felt I "knew" how to use git before I read tutorials about how to use git.
Sometimes I felt tutorials were making it seem harder, more mystical, than it really was, or relied on "marble diagrams" with arrows pointing backwards, which I felt was unintuitive.
I had used SVN quite a bit, and found you can use git in pretty much the same way, but branching was easier.
And if you're using branches more, then "rebasing" your branch made sense, and the fact that you could "rewrite history", which I remember to some people seemed controversial, but the idea was it was fine, if you kept your branch private, or added caveats.
- Igelau 5y agoI had a similar feeling of "finally, this makes sense" after enduring ClearCase and SVN for a big chunk of my career.
