That article[1] comes across as incredibly condescending. Is the purpose to keep people ignorant and oppressed? Prevent them from understanding nuance by prescribing one world view and denying any other perspectives? Make them slaves to gerrit? I really fail to see the benefit of such propaganda.
I think it would be great to favor git fetch and git rebase over git pull and merge[1] in the beginners documentation so people don't start out

bad habits.
tl;dr:
# ~/.gitconfig
[branch] autosetuprebase = always
