Well, what's terrifying is that the guide is so long.

I am aware that beej's guides are typically quite comprehensive, but the vast nuances of git truly eluded me until this.

I guess Jujitsu would wind up being a much slimmer guide, or at least one that would be discoverable largely by humans?

The guide is comprehensive, on the other extreme, this one-pager contains 90% of git commands you'll ever need: https://wizardzines.com/git-cheat-sheet.pdf

It is quite bad and uninformative, you better not spread it.

They're probably best in combination, since Beej explains the concepts and Julia helps you type the commands.
