They are, but it’s also more than that. C++ is like if git were a programming language.

Interesting analogy, please explain

Yep. Incredibly powerful, and it will not hesitate to help you blow your own legs off.

The big difference is that git will save your legs in reflog for a couple of weeks.

Learning about reflog was a game changer. Now I’m never afraid of breaking my branch. If I mess up, I can always git reset —hard to a previous state.

Another game changer was learning that a perfectly valid way of doing squash is to do git reset to an earlier commit and then do git commit -a. Saves a lot of rebasing headache.
