We are all ignorant in most respects; there is an opportunity cost in knowing anything. If you use git daily, I submit that it does not make sense to be ignorant of how it works. Yes, you will take no physical harm from misusing this tool, but you&#x27;re setting yourself up for failure. Reading about how git works will prevent you from making the mistakes that lead to an unworkable state, and allow you to resolve any unexpected situations or errant keystrokes. To make something of an analogy, git has the most powerful and flexible form of &quot;undo&quot; that has been conceived to date, and you are discarding this because you can always re-download an old copy and redo your work. If it is something that you use only rarely, there is nothing wrong with choosing to study other things. If you are employed as a software developer then I would consider you to have very little excuse for ignorance.
