I agree with the "learn the CLI", but to newcomers I'll also suggest to look at the IDE/editor's output channel - if there's GUI for Git, there are also most likely logs for what's happening under the hood - even if a little noisy, it can be a good learning resource. And of course if you're learning and unsure of what's happening (with the CLI or through a GUI), do so in a non-destructive manner (by having proper backups).

Looks like windows should come with a dictionary.

This feels like when my brother backed up a file with Onedrive, then figured he could delete the original... the one that Onedrive was keeping track of.

It's not that these aren't confusing, but why risk your file without testing what the software will do first? Especially before hitting anything like "delete" or "discard"?
