See all this is fine for someone with good experience in git. They know how to solve the screw up. But wih junior devs, who don't know much about it, they will just get confused and stuck. And one of the senior has to involve and help them solve. This is just annoying because these can be avoided very easily. Until they understand the pattern of how everyone operates with git, it just creates issues.

To me first time causing this issue is completely fine. I will personally sit with them and explain then what went wrong and how to recover. Most of them will repeat it again, act clueless and talk like they are seeing this for the first time in their life. That is the difficult part to me.

May be I'm just old school, and a grumpy old person, even though I'm not that aged.

Oh, the human interaction is annoying! Yeah gotcha. That makes more sense!

Sounds like the onboarding process needs to have a step in it that says "here's a link to a git tutorial, read this and get familiar with using git, as it's an integral tool that you will use every single day on the job". Bonus points for providing a sample repo that juniors can use to mess around with git, extra bonus points for including steps in the onboarding materials for the juniors to set up their own repos to play around with.
