I think it's a fair question. I would never not hire someone over not knowing that particular flow though.

Also, I've never had any developers I've hired not be able to learn it quickly. The fact that they don't know it does tell you that they're either not rebasing or not using the cli. The discussion around those process topics are more interesting to me than them not knowing it to begin with. For example, "well what is your process around git usage in general?" etc, "how well do you know the cli?" etc. Interviews are all about conversations.

I would tell them they'll learn the cli git if they join my team. Maybe that's not something they're into? I guess that's part of the "fit" of a team.

At one point there was lots of discussion regarding rebasing in general on our team and another shop. This blog post came out of that. I know many people who feel differently of course. I do expect seniors to have an opinion on the matter either way I guess.
