PS: i have a lot of furniture with rought edges. I've learned my lesson, and furniture is not a problem anymore.
PS. throwing out things you test on. isn't that how every programming tutorial works? write code NOT in your main repository, test things out, throw it away (or keep it, whatever)?

correct way of learning git is every time you want to use a "complex"/dangerous commands in git, you `cd /tmp` and create a git repository there. then create some commits, branches and experiment. you will NOT lose anything, but you will learn a lot.
I did and do this every time I have doubts. and with time you will understand how non-dangerous git commands are.
"dangerous" part comes from the user, not the software, and it is okay. when you accidentally kick a corner of a furniture, that does not make that furniture "dangerous".
web development is as hard as any other development environment. you must know a lot of stuff, hacks ARE NOT mandatory at all and it is not as bad as people tell you.
maybe you just work with terrible base code is the answer?
