I feel an engineer is incomplete without knowing their daily tools more than the basics.
I find it frustrating to work with people who don't make the effort to learn git. Urging them to relax and take some time to read up or go through guides. They are fine spending time learning new languages or frameworks on their spare time, that they then want to bring into work. But spending a weekend reading some blogs about git or the short manuals is somehow tedious. Many times they can't write a proper commit message, and when they get a merge conflict they kick and scream, and you have to solve it for them. It's not that hard to go from a beginner to an intermediate user of git. And the trade-off can be quite significant with the confidence in managing around git. Learn from the CLI first, then jump onto tools that fit you (shout-out to magit!)
