Just to be sure, I google git commands quite often. Most probably because for each command my mind has given it a custom-name. So it kind of mixes up. LOL

Everything! πŸ€ͺ
But seriously, I think I do a lot of Googling (and looking at Documentation - same thing?) for things which are new or I'm uncertain of or if I'm working with an SDK like Firebase.
Is that the way I'm supposed to do it? πŸ˜‚ I'd rather get things right first time rather than get it wrong and THEN Google. Sounds like the other things people Google are a lot more advanced. 😳
