Thinking of other fantastically essential skills that are universally applicable to a developer (any) is impossible and honestly, there is a getting-to-be-aware-of curve here.
When I started using git, I thought about how to cram all command codes, and it's frustrating, but after watching a few tutorials and the Teachable lectures I finally got to understand that the command name is just a pointer, git commit is a way of creating new nodes, and git branch commands and rebasing are just ways of creating new pointers and pushing/moving them. the knowledge that I have picked out and used daily via the ability of way of days in a normal developer's workday is forking, merging, concurrent builders working, and resolving a merge conflict.
Whether a developer writes codes in C#, JavaScript, Python, etc., or uses windows or mac or anything else, Git is the solid chance that is, these days used for source control.
