I did that and went "back".

Most of the projects I do for money are on Github and Gitlab.

I got my hands on things like YT videos explaining, official docs, cheatsheets.

About 4 hours exploring, trying to use with some side projects.

I did the same decades ago from CVS/SVN to git (even tried Hg). At that time it was obvious the "revolution" + "evolution" effect. Also git provided some transition tools that were easier to use from my pov.

Now it's just "evolution".

I see the added power to work with different "branches" simultaneously, move commits in different order in a way that is easier to have some better management logic, etc.

This is basically compelling if you work on different facets on big monorepos.

But I want to work on one thing a time nowadays, do something reliable, instead several features simultaneously, even with AI assistance, so the gains are not that huge, yet.

Like you I ended up using git commands again naturally. Stopping using svn commands eons ago felt amazing.
