i've been talking a lot about how git's terminology is confusing in the last few days (a majority of people saying that they're unsure about what "HEAD", "fast-forward", "reference" mean)

but I think a huge part of it is the way git's error messages are designed? really seems like this error message (one of the most common errors in git!) could be phrased with less jargon.

! [rejected] main -> main (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:jvns/int-exposed'
