    As someone who knows that they know very little about git, this thread makes me think I’m not alone.

      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…

                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
