I'm not who you replied to, but I think git is fundamentally insane. It's sufficiently opinionated about how it should be used that if you violate certain customs, it can decide to delete commits that you explicitly created. Despite that, it's not opinionated enough to avoid having a ton of subtly different (or effectively the same) ways of doing a thing on the cli. And the cli is an absolute mess of footguns and inconsistent flags.
That's interesting. I've been using git every day for about 8 years, I've never found myself in a situation where I couldn't fix something I broke. But maybe that time will come.
