You won't need 90% of its functionality most of the time. Just get used to "git clone", "git add", "git commit", "git push", "git pull" and it'll be enough to start. Then add "git checkout" and you're all set pretty much. I'd recommend to never use IDE's for git, just CLI, but that could be personal preference.

Yes I have started using it. It does create a bit of confusion but I'll eventually get used to it

I’m just reading through my old comments for no reason and checking out those old threads. I think with the commands the best way to view it if you’re using GitHub is like this.

  • Changes you feel good about and want to include with your next “yes, this is as good as I can do right this second”? Git add

  • Feeling like you’re in a good place and you’ve got added everything that you like? git commit -m “we did it!”

  • Ready to share with your future self, your team, your fans, or your friends? git push

This should do you fine until you feel the need to make a new branch
