Compound operations soon become basic operations in the mind of an expert. Lifting your feet, and then landing your feet might be basic operations when you are 1 yo, but soon enough they become "walking". Similarly checking out a commit and then cherry-picking a sequence of commits while resolving conflicts becomes "rebasing". In my mind I'm not doing two operations, it's one operation with a modifier: git switch --new branch --new is an adverb, not an operation. -- Felipe Contreras
