I don't. Looked it up on Google, not that hard. I also never use git from the terminal, I know I could, but I don't and if you were to ask me off the top of my head how to use it from the cli, I probably wouldn't be able. Not because I can't use git, I just can't be bothered to remember all the commands when a gui is available and does the exact same thing I needed to do anyway. If and when I'll need to use the terminal for git, I'll check the docs for the exact syntax.

Again, knowing the exact syntax it's not what defines a software engineer, IMO.

Then yes, you are not a software engineer. You used programming to solve one problem one time and you didn't understand what was happening under the hood. Building one deck does not make you a carpenter. Writing one app does not make you a software engineer.

Yeah... that's literally my job... but keep on gatekeeping, don't let my existence stop you.
