I totally agree with this. I've tried to 'crack' it many times. I can understand the basics absolutely fine, but as soon as something out of the ordinary happens I'm completely lost. I don't know the correct terminology to Google the solution. If I do find something that sounds similar to my situation, then the solution is way beyond my level and though I try I stuff it up and make an even bigger mess. I've been through so many rabbit holes of endless Googling. I've been stuck at this level for months now - there seems to be a huge leap between knowing the basics to the next level of understanding. It feels like the difference in learning a few phrases of another language one day then all of a sudden being forced to have in-depth conversations the next. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
