Net Ninja.... simply in love with you!! (Oops, I mean your teaching style!!!)

Just a note for people who may get stuck where I did. I found myself getting lost right around this area and had to go back a few videos in order to understand why my terminal wasn't looking like The Net Ninja's. Be sure to manually save after every change. It seems simple but its where I went wrong so maybe it will help someone else.

It's good practice to write your commit messages in the imperative: "fix a load of crap" and not "fixed a load of crap"

Probably green refers to Untracked files and orange represents Modified attempts to already existing files.

does clicking on the up and down arrow at the bottom of visual studio code creates a commit?

These git videos are great. They do a fantastic job of explaining how to use git clearly. However they introduce some small bad habits into the code that people may copy -- especially new coders. It's very easy to do when the tutor is focussed on explaining a concept. For example, git documentation states that all commits should be made PRESENT tense (or "imperative mood"). Eg. "Add margin to body CSS" and NOT "Added margin to body CSS". This is the standard used across the dev world and what should be taught. It's a small thing, but it's worth flagging for any new coders watching these tutorials :) Otherwise brilliant job!

when i type 'git log --oneline' one of my line is: "ID (HEAD -> master) changed body font size". What doest it mean the part (HEAD -> master)?

[jerickcarlosmangalus]

I need git cause I've been using svn for a long time.

[prabhathsannasooriya]

should i add . /and commit line by line

[petecodes]

Mine says master -> origin. Is that a problem?

[neerajsoni]

How to push these commits to github ??

[genericwhitemale]

"fixed a load of crap"
that's what I said when I updated my first unity game i released two years ago.

[amguruprasath]

for people `oneline` command is not working try `--oneline`
