To really grasp it, you need to understand monads. See, monads are really easy if you think about it the right way...

Oh, wait, sorry!

Monads are actually much easier than git.

You can pick up monads in half a day (on the example of IO, List, Maybe, Reader, State), but learning git takes several days of reading books and docs and then months of practice.

Monads would also NOT bite your behind if you skip understanding the underlying theory. Git will.
