Why is it important to learn GIT at expert level?

Git has become part of the toolbox for every software developer. It’s success is largely due to its power, flexibility, distributed mode of operation and ability to manage extremely complex projects with multiple developers collaborating on the same code-base. However, Git has a steep learning curve which make it hard for many developers to effectively take advantage. Using Git without understanding of its underlying architecture in detail, can be dangerous. Therefore my argument here is that when starting with Git, developers should invest the time to quickly become expert by understanding how Git is designed, implemented and what each of the commands does in the database. Alternatively, knowing just a little bit of Git can be a problem because you use a powerful tool and can cause a lot of problems for you and the rest of the team.
