There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.

I guess, if you ignore the comma...

Could’ve written like this to avoid the ambiguity: “I think advanced git knowledge, just like RegEx, …”

Rereading it, I now understand what you meant. I interpreted the "like regex" as an example of advanced git knowledge. I'm not sure the comma helps make it unambiguous though.

Yeah, reading it again and I can see that interpretation...

This is why you shouldn't rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out
