This was a genuinely fantastic beginner introduction to GIT and I learnt a lot.

[TheRealJohnMadden]

I'm very happy that I made the transition to Linux as my daily driver and that I found your channel. You have been a saving grace in getting me through the first tough months of figuring this whacky world.

[bobwong]

Thank You Jay 👍👍👍‼️
Yes, more Git pls.
Believe we could have multiple versions. Can we roll backwards & forwards as many times we like?
Thx again.

[franciscorosciani]

This was an excellent introduction - thanks! I'd love to see a follow-up

[brandongraham]

Thank you Jay. Looking forward to future git episodes. I'd love to see how to work with others on a project. I think it could be really cool for professional journal articles with LaTeX.

[JerryGoNuts]

Thank you for this upload. Learned something new re: Git basics. Hope that there is a follow up with advanced tips, etc.

[kayathecloudkid]

Yes, please do a follow up. Great content, thanks (from the Netherlands)

I just started playing around with git last week. Other than programs I'm working on, I have a repo that holds the appends the fstab file with the nfs shares I add to all of my machines and a script that appends fstab, creates the directories to mount them to, and finally creates symlinks in my home. I figured it was better than trying to keep track of the flash drive lol.

[lenninlc]

Excellent tutorial! Looking forward to the second part !

[ElreyRayo]

1st time I see a full video on GIT, very basic & thorough though. Gracias from TX!

[mostafarazavi]

First year CS student 👨‍🎓. This is gold to me!

[MrRefael]

Thanks for the video,
can you please do a followup video for git branches.

[devinsmith]

An advanced Git lesson would be welcomed

[christopherjackson]

I wish I were better at git. I always feel like I'm groping around in the dark when I use it. I really like the style of your videos. It's remarkable how good you are at making educational content thats accessible to people of all different skill levels.

[mikelambert]

the first place i went to learn about git was linkedin learning and it was terrible. Thanks for this simple, straight-forward intro. It's exactly what I needed to "git" started!

[packmanbp]

I need to learn Git and your videos are very clear and understandable for a noob like me, please continue !

[gpfforte]

Hi Jay, yes, more git please. Perhaps you could explain how to set things up so that it's not required to retype credentials each time when you git pull? You are doing a really great job. Thanks

[stello]

Just finished your book. Second read through commencing. Implementation pending. Enormous fun!

[janpedersen]
