Re:Shit – An implementation of Git using POSIX shell by seba_dos1 on Wednesday February 12, 2020 @07:45AM (#22308355)
git is a data structure manipulation tool, mouse is a cursor manipulation tool. A much better analogy would be trying to use a mouse without having a good idea of what the cursor is for.

The only difference is that grasping the cursor will probably take you minutes because it's a simple concept, and grasping the data structure takes a bit more effort because it's just a more complicated topic.

You don't need to know the implementation details of git, but you need to know the data structure it operates on, cause otherwise you're just walking in the dark.
