This is cool because Git is almost too popular, there are too many poorly written tutorials, and I have seen so many people get in trouble and Stack Overflow just gives them more commands that get them into an even stickier situation. Yeah, if you learn all its ins and outs then you will understand it, but that shouldn't be needed for a tool which is now so widely used.
Git has improved a lot like erroring out if you try certain operations with unsaved changes, but even this has issues e.g. if you have a file which is untracked in one branch and committed or gitignored in another.
