> merge conflicts: <<<<<<< HEAD is just confusing

This section in particular piques my interest. I never found this confusing, since the change in HEAD is just representative of the order of operations (in rebase, you are setting the current commits "on top" of the commit you are rebasing onto, etc). This feels like what is confusing isn't really HEAD itself, it's a fundamental understanding of the git model?

I feel like folks using git without understanding the basics of what it does is what leads people astray? If so, why isn't this part of our basic training as engineers who use git?
