I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the “distributed” mindset didn’t happen overnight.

Git’s internals are very easy to understand and once you know more about them, you’ll have a much better idea of how it works (especially when it comes to tags and branches). They’re so simple, you could even easily write your own scripts to parse git’s internal data directory if you wanted to.
I would highly recommend reading about them: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects#
That other people would care as much for a clean history like I do. Specifically, opening branches and leaving them open forever without merging them back into main, many useless commits rather than squashing or amending, or making branches-of-branches-of-branches. Drives me nuts
Omg so this. Also merging main branches into feature branches instead of rebasing.
Wft isn’t there just a nice clean git UI that tells you in human terms what you are doing.
Command line interfaces suck ass.
