I’ve used git for 15 years or so. I use the same 5 commands. I haven’t run into a situation like you describe where I lose everything. Worst case scenario is that I lose a check in, but even that is rare as I can just copy over, start with a fresh clone, and reapply. I don’t think there’s a significant danger of messing up a project. And again, this is just basic developer capabilities and developers should be familiar with a vcs enough.
