Really like the video, and the written blog is good too. Clear, concise and to the point.

Great explanation and the graphical representation you used while typing the commands made it much easier to understand from a visual perspective. Keep up the good work!

This is the best explanation I have seen for Git's commands, and they are real world solutions for real world problems. Thank you very much.

[d-e-v-esh]

This is the best video by far I have seen on YouTube. Thank you so much man....

[krazee_aznnn]

I mean, so many comments before have said this, but I need to confirm: this tutorial was more clear and understandable than the articles and other videos I watched about rebasing and changing Git commit history! I get it now!

[gaofan]

Perfect video, short, precise with visualization. Not like telling the history of git for 40 minutes, and then start explaining things like others do

[codewithsub]

This is the best tutorial of git I have ever seen.
Thanks man

Excellent! Thank you so much for this video. I have struggled with rebasing and was scared. But your teaching skill is excellent and I learnt in few minutes and used it successfully.
