I feel like other commenters are being obtuse on purpose and avoid the point? Or did I just not word it correctly
nah, people are just built differently. Not everyone gets frustrated with "learning to remember", and then some do. Both are valid. The people who seem to be obtuse to you are in the first group, myself included. I didn't instantly catch the fact that instead of `svn commit` I have to now do `git add`, `git commit` and `git push`. But, and this is the key difference, when I forgot I just checked my bash history to recall the sequence. It doesn't bother me because I know either of two things will happen:
A. Over months and years, you then understand how things work and its second nature.
OR B. The tool was just a one-off and you won't use it after some time, so it doesn't matter you won't recall the steps.
Its the same with any professional tool, really - even outside software (think carpentry, for example).
