I like the attitude of "learn the principles of the simple building blocks behind it" as a good next step from a freshman that just memorized "add, commit & pull/push" But most headache (and heartattack) inducing part of Git when I was a beginner was the "remote vs local repo" and additional complexities this concept introduced. Nothing more stressing for the new guy than making mistakes that screw up for others (mistakeful push, merge, mostly ) or if he think he did. The article does a poor job (imo) regarding this. It skims on a 2 paragraph "Caveat" section how rebase(and later squeeze) can fuck local vs remote repo, but for most people I know, stress memories around this is what made them learn more about Git beyond than "branch & history keeping software & commands. That and if you unfortunately end up in a project that uses subtree or submodules
