The man page for git has 1085 lines on my system. That's just too long with too much irrelevant information to be reasonable to expect someone to read when they just want one thing. I've never used them in all my time in the industry.
ChatGPT is a life saver for me though. I looked all over to try to find how to just see the history of a branch and got a million wrong results, but ChatGPT on GPT4 told me right away it was git log --first-parent <branch_name>.
