    I think advanced git knowledge, like RegEx, is the exception, while the norm is to know the tiny handful of day to day useful bits

      How is regex git knowledge? I guess you can use regular expressions with git grep but it’s certainly not a git-oriented concept…

        what. that’s not what they said. they are comparing git knowledge to regex knowledge.

        I don’t even know how to respond to this considering it has nothing to do with what I said…

          There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.

              Rereading it, I now understand what you meant. I interpreted the “like regex” as an example of advanced git knowledge. I’m not sure the comma helps make it unambiguous though.

                Yeah, reading it again and I can see that interpretation…

                This is why you shouldn’t rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out

              Could’ve written like this to avoid the ambiguity: “I think advanced git knowledge, just like RegEx, …”
