No, that’s terrifyingly untrue.

Git is more like… the new car. It’s complicated and most people have no idea how it works, but they know how to steer very simply and can drive it with a bit of training. Experienced people however, who know how cars work, can do really cool things with them and have no problem repairing them on their own.

Still, cars are useful. A bike would be better of course.

I like it! I'll do you one further. Git is more like... someone ripped out all the controls from your car and installed a Boeing 787 dashboard. You'd probably figure out how to start it and make it go forward, left and right, but you'd miss out on a lot of functionality and likely destroy something while playing with unknown buttons.
