Hugging Up 

It means one is still unfamiliar but has a general idea of how it works.

Originates from the term “Hugging the UP (Union Pacific)”. In the early 20th century when navigation for aircraft was in its infancy, pilots who were lost would zig zag until they found Union Pacific’s transcontinental line and follow it until they got to a spot they were familiar with. They hugged the UP.
“I’m still hugging up with the concept, but I’ll understand it soon.”
