90% of git usage in small projects - git add, commit, push

I swear you need to collab with Fireship, you are amazing tutors

This has got to be one of the best made, most well-explained educational videos I have ever watched

[BradArnst]

I didn't learn a lot as I am somewhat past the noob stage. But, this is an excellent video and did help solidify some of my knowledge and I will most definitely use this video to help explain for others. Very good. Good combination of speech, text and graphics (as always).

one big gotcha to look out for and you stated it but you should empahaize is "git branch" by itself makes the branch based off your current branch

I cannot tell you how many devs make a feature-one branch, then make feature-two and now it is based off of feature-one when they probably meant to do main

I recommend getting used to checking where you are before making branches (i also exclusively use git checkout -b new-branch source-branch)

How is this channel on 48K subs? very concise and not a single second wasted.

[ransomecode]

heck, i thought you were going to explain how git itself works under the hood

[sheaksadi]

You missed the most important one
$ git blame

[kasper]

Ur using Vim as it's part of git commands, I shared this with junior dev and they are getting error on vim

[dgdev]

So I cant believe i have understood this by working with it for 2 years.

One tip I would give is
Dont use git reset --hard without pushing the code to remote branch.


For adding the files just use the staging + icon in vs code.

Great job! This might be the easiest video to learn Git. I often end up creating garbage commit messages after feeling mentally exhausted. Do you have any tips for improving this?

[paw]

Good video, but I hate those flashbanks screens that announce next chapter of the video. Please stick to the dark theme in the entire video.

[goatfryed]

writing :wq to save and exit vim as if :x didn't exist. *look of superiority*

[mikejohneviota]

i only know git init, git add, git commit, the git push to main

[aLfRemArShMeLlOw]

It's "without further ADO", not "adieu" ;)

[siniarskimar]

1:19 shouldn't this be the other way around? Git doesn't take a snapshot of the entire working directory, ie the project, but works on file changes/diffs

At most the phrasing here is misleading

[abdoun]

bro how you created a folder without Cd to it lmao

[samarnagar]

this was knowing nothing to knowing the bare least neccesary not advance

[jaydeep-p]

I know rebase, but I don't care 😤

[neanelu]

Nice video, but the title is a bit deceitful.
