Git is one of the most widely used collaboration tools in Software development. Even software developers working without teams often use Git as a version control system. Most people interact with Git through the command line, but many code editors and IDEs have Git integrations with built-in tools to make your workflow easier. Though Git is widely used, many developers only have a surface-level appreciation of all that Git has to offer.

If you're like me and have less than twenty years of software engineering experience, the thought of a world without Git doesn't seem possible. When I started to research for this post, I almost fell out of my chair when I read that Git was created in 2005. It doesn't seem that long ago... either that, or I'm simply getting old. When I started programming, I asked myself a question I sometimes still ask myself today - How does git work? I often find myself being scared of certain Git commands.
