One mistake that I see people making about Git is trying to learn more commands, more flags, more tricks, but not trying to really understand how it works. Perhaps it's your case. You know Git enough to use in your daily basis, so maybe it's time to dive into a lower level and then everything else will be natural. I strongly suggest reading Pro Git, the official Git book by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub, available for free here: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2. I find it very pleasant to read and it really changed my perspective not only about Git but about how to write code in general. You don't need to read it entirely, but suggest at least these sections: - 1.3 Getting Started - What is Git?: explains a little about snapshots and the three states - 10.1 ~ 10.3 Plumbing and Porcelain, Git Objects and Git References: this explains Git in its lowest level, which is surprisingly simple but powerful. Those sections were enough for me to write my own "Git" (you can see it here: https://github.com/lucasoshiro/oshit https://github.com/lucasoshiro/oshit)
