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.
