Because most of the time, the complicated stuff is just a few simple commands chained together.
99.9% of the time, git is easy. You don’t need to do everything on the command line, especially when dealing with diffs and merge conflicts. But in my experience most devs who flat out refuse to use it don’t understand most of the basic concepts because it’s all hidden behind a layer of abstraction. That’s why when I teach the basic concepts, it’s command line only. At least you know what that big Squash&Merge button does and why you should never click on the big Rebase button on main/master.
in our area was some kind of job orientation school (or more the advertisement to spend 3 years in the main part).
one of the people (probably 18-15) that wanted to look at programming or system integration (its combined) said that the teacher had a magic finger because that finger managed to turn on the pc

That might have been a joke that made sense if you haven’t seen the PC. When I was in high school, someone ripped out the power button which also used to have power LED in it, so there were just 4 mystery wires sticking out.
Developers are that dumb when it comes to computers. Actual fucking developers.
Fucking backend developers who can’t even
git commitwithout their fucking IDE handling it for them.It’s so much easier to see diffs/merges with gui tools. 90% of the operations can be handled easily in the UI.
I only need to use the command line and use the docs when I do something complicated (I still screwed something up).
I do understand it’s there though, I’m not sure using it for the basic stuff would help me with the complicated stuff.
