Yes, git can be complex. It's also a requirement for modern software development. It is well documented, and not esoteric.
If someone hasn't taken the time to learn the tools their team uses, they will be a burden to the rest of the team. They don't need to become an expert, just experienced enough so they don't cause problems for others on the team.

- ratww 4y agoMy company handles this by allowing them to study on the dime. I just ask how much time they want and ask them to do it, and if they need some material or help devising a study plan. Curiously the two that needed it didn't really want to study at all, and we eventually let them go (they were interns).
- ironmagma 4y agoI've never seen documentation on Git that was good and accurate. Pretty much every explainer out there commits major errors, claiming things like: commits are changesets, branches are sets of commits, claiming that any Git operation can be undone, implying merge is a symmetrical operation, or saying to never force push. Being a beginner in Git is probably hell.
