Hope this video helps you learn the fundamentals of Git and GitHub! I do realize some of the commands were hidden behind my face-cam so I wrote a list of them here for your reference!

The people who disliked are people who upload their projects to google drive

This is very useful! It might seem redundant at first when you have small projects or have very few, but they tend to grow. Make git a habit even if you dont understand why. It will come later as some crucial point.

[richiemello]

Tim, you are an unequivocal life saver. I cannot even begin to tell you how much your videos have helped me. I was smacking my brain into a wall watching other YouTube videos who made the process so convoluted. Thank you for everything you do!!!

[Hintz]

I watched quite a few other videos that attempted to explain Git/Github, but I found this to be the best foundational explanation. And yours explained using the command prompt rather than an IDE and it still was more clear than other tutorials I watched. Thanks for this great educational material.

[jonathanjohnson]

I guess it's true that if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough. You sir really understand it. Great video. 👏

[henderstech]

I love how you say to not just remember the commands but to understand what is actually happening in background. This is what helps me learn the most. not just learning a command. I like to know how it works and what its doing.

[Spironic]

This is one of the best pieces of educational material I've seen on youtube; so well articulated, so clear, so comprehensive, and so easy to understand. Bravo sir! Subbed

[xhappybunnyx]

The amount of relief you have provided me is immeasurable and I want to give you a big thank you for making this seem so unscary <3

[snow]

I am impressed with the way how the young man is able to explain and perform ! Thank you for that

[shellymillet]

Thank you Tim - I learned Git today!!! I actually bailed out on 2 other videos before finding yours. Your style fits my learning curve!!
Spot on Thanks again.

[chloezhu]

the clearest tutorial I've found on Youtube. Thank you Tim you are a legend!

[boontecklee]

You have done a very good job introducing fundamental github operations for beginners. Your instructions are very clear and systematic. Thank you!

[david_law]

Clear navigation and language, and straight to the point. Super helpful. Thank you!

[gentmoth]

I truly appreciate how simple and clearly you've explained this!

[kimaegaii]

Bruh just yes, what a great explainer. Thank you thank you! Lots of time people teach the theory and not the commands, you put it all in one. Great job!

This was amazing, I tried following other ones but they often used Macs and did things that weren't the same on mine. Also explaining how it works made it much easier to follow. Thanks again!

[sancrosanct]

Honestly you did pretty damn nice. The explanation was top notch. I was worried you weren't going to address conflicts because I actually deleted the test repository I made watching the video then made a new one using every commands and slowly understanding the uses of each and how changes in CMD affect the file in github. Now I understand pretty much all you said. I'll have to learn about pull requests more though because they confuse me but all in all pretty solid. 10/10 would recommend.

[matthewpaolini]

I have been developing for 25 years and I can't tell you how impressed I am with you. You have a great future ahead.

I was planning to do something like this myself & host it as a workshop for our Computer Science group at my college, but unfortunately my plans fell through =(
I'm very happy to see you make a video about this & will share it with the people who are new to Git! Colleges & universities don't teach us Git & code collaboration tools, so this is a huge boon for students =)
Thank you for the video Tim!
