Since my experience with Git is much less (too much solo work, so you don't get exposed to the same scenarios as team developers do), I'm now having to handle new situations in my Git use.

The biggest problem I face is the conflicting information of how to do a certain thing. The other biggest problem is that my need at one moment may be similar by slightly different to a situation/question posed on StackOverflow, and so I'm left to guess if I can take the answers and work from those... or if I will end up in a worse or weird situation by following them.

It's very difficult to even discuss situations in Git, because the smallest details can be a deciding factor in choosing what next step to take. It reminds me of analog and digital electronics... sometimes you must be very precise and know exactly what you're doing, and sometimes you can just approximate. Knowing when to do one or the other takes lots of experience.
