I have a fuzzy jpg level understanding of the internals and I do completely fine with ~10 git commands.

I’ve actually seen the opposite where people dive into the details and kind of get lost, give up and end up with a fragmented mental model that leaves them afraid to touch it.

My rough mental model is each ref is like a .zip of your source code. Branches point to these. When you commit you create a new ref, it points to it’s parent and the branch now points to it.
