Obligatory “What I wish I knew about Git” post (peter-whittaker.com)

This is one of those articles where everyone is just better off if they don't read it at all. Besides mixing up misconceptions on how git works and where git's version control mechanics ends and branching patterns start, the article reads as if the author is presenting misconceptions as past errors and current misconceptions as truths. I get it that everyone has their personal learning journey, but that doesn't mean everyone benefits by watching the mistakes taken throughout the trip.
