Beyond a junior engineer, I’d expect an engineer to know more than the basics if they’ve been using git for their entire career so far.

Git is the power saw for software engineers. You don’t want someone who can’t keep all their fingers and toes anywhere near your code.

Not knowing git, when you’ve been interacting with it for years, is a red flag for me. I’m not expecting people to know the difference between rebase and rebase --onto, but they should at least know about the reflog and how to unfuck themselves.
