When I teach Git in mentoring situations, I start with the underlying concepts before I even touch the user interface. And that's kind of wild, it's a testament to how bad the user-facing interface is that I'm thinking about it through the lens of "understanding the internals will make the UI easier", not "understanding and working with the UI will make the internals clearer."
