At work people think I'm some kind of wizard with git.

I tell them I've been using it every day for 15 years and I read the freely available book on the website, link them to it, and mention the first 3 chapters probably covers 90% of their normal usage so they should just read that.

They won't do it. I don't get it. Something about written words is scary to them.

    Same here. I obviously don't remember everything because I rarely if ever have to use them, but at least when the time finally comes that I need "git bisect", I'll know that "git bisect" exists and I'll be able to go straight to the manual page that documents it.

    No one expects anyone to read the manual and remember it all... But you will naturally remember the big lines and be able to refer to the right place when you need something.
