@akjcv ideally people would understand git before they used git but unfortunately modern software development,

@Lady @akjcv I feel like this is true for a lot of documentation

if you have the time to sit down and read a manual cover to cover, you don't need the manual to be as well organized as if you're in a hurry trying to fix something

but when are we ever not in a hurry trying to fix something anymore?

@zwol @akjcv i don’t think people need to read Pro Git cover to cover, but i also don’t think people should write SQL queries without ever learning what a relational database is, which is the current situation with Git

and like, sorry, but it doesn’t matter how good your SQL query documentation is if your audience doesn’t know anything about relational databases; they need to go learn that first

but we get lots of people complaining that Git documentation isn’t good enough because it assumes basic working knowledge of what Git is and what it is doing in its explanations
