Just wanted to shout out how great this courses are. I was depressed and wasn't happy with my previous career, I wanted to change things and find something to be exited about and make a career with it. I don't count myself smart and my previous job was a seafaring one, so I had no idea. The this summer I found your Python tutorial, bought couple more full courses and now making slow progress, even found a starting tech support job. It's not much, but I feel really great and want to aspire to become a developer. Thank you so much, it's fantastic how you help people! Best wishes :)

This one hr of course is much easy to understand, best animation helped to make things visualise better and ofcourse the pace of the course is appreciated. Looking forward to get the full course of 5hrs

Dear Mosh, I'm a beginner programmer, and this video was extremely helpful. Thanks for putting in the hard work to produce this video!

52:17 You evaluated the bash variables LOCAL and REMOTE, which did not exist or were empty, leaving you with the string with two spaces after --diff. I like to mostly use single quotes when I don't need bash to evaluate anything in the string, but you could have escaped the dollar signs with backspaces as well if you want to stick to double quotes.

For mac user:
to add vs code to your path:
- open vs code
- shift + command + p
- search for (shell command: install 'code' command in PATH )

Then you just configure it to git according to our teacher, Mosh

Great Video Mosh! Just prepurchased the full Git Course. Appreciate you offering fantastic courses at such reasonable prices. You the best ❤

Im around three quarters of the way through the git ultimate course and I have to say its good. Pacey but thorough. The time spent explaining different merge types is fantastic.
The most useful part, for me was creating new branches on remote/origin correctly, something I constantly struggled with. I already have Senior Engineers at work asking me about "git log --oneline --all --graph".
Amazing as always Mosh, if you keep releasing content like this we might just make it!

[md.shafiuzzamanrajib]

It will really help beginners to get started with Git. Thank you very much Mosh. I have shared it on LinkedIn and tagged you. Keep on creating such amazing content for the programmers. Take care and stay blessed.
