I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Firstly, it was asking about the frequency of using commands, but the options were only checkboxes or radio buttons. I answered as if the question was "do you regularly use" but it could as easily have been "have you ever used" or "do you use most frequently".
Secondly some things with checkboxes sounded mutually exclusive, such as
Do you prefer to use if git has combo commands (Like a command to add and commit selected files at once)?
which has checkboxes for both yes and no. I checked both, because I use such combo commands for some purposes and prefer explicit separate commands for others, but I feel that might not be how you will interpret the results.
If not Terminal, How else do you use git ?
has radio buttons. What if I use git in more than one way?
Why are some commands, like log, in there more than once? They're in separate sections, but will their results be aggregated? Will me selecting log in more than one place skew the results?
I found out how it was being aggregated (or not) after completing the survey, meaning I didn't know what I didn't know.
As others have said, could you remove the name/email address section from the results?
Thanks Ben for pointing out these small mistakes. I fixed all of them except repetitive commands like log, diff.. though they are same commands but Listing them under the specific operation gives more detailed info on what cases people are using them.

I found this survey very confusing!
