I bet they could put git in a job opening as if it were a programming language. A quick litmus test would be "write hello world in git". It would either come up empty (bad), a bullshit answer (bad), or a reply that git is not a programming language (good), or a creative solution (funny and good).

    git init && git commit --allow-empty -m "Hello World" && git log --pretty=format:%s -n 1

I need more interesting hobbies (than doing a lot of random git man page reading for various reasons).

I had a similar thought:

  git init -q && git commit -q --allow-empty -m "Hello, World\!" && git show --format=%B | head -1

That seems like something that would cause talent to nope out of the degree of apparent incompetence.
