As a self-taught dev, this is simple, straightforward, and really easy to understand.

[cheemsburbger]

thank youu! this really helped me understand git, its short and direct to the point unlike other vids

[tryfon]

I watched so many videos on that, as a baeginner i can say that yours was by far the easiest to understand. Thanks a lot!

Wonderful tutorial Max and thank you. I've been a dev for many years but am only now moving to VS Code and Git, primarily working with Django. You have saved me a lot of time and effort and for that I am very grateful. You have a wonderfully calm way of teaching and your efforts are much appreciated.

Thanks for your clear way of explaining things.🥰

I don't know if you'll ever read this, but thank you very much Max. Loved the video, how you presented the video, your voice, your slow and and friendly approach taking in the total newbies like me into consideration.

For another video, maybe make sure to stop and clearly define some important common words you use in the video and are vital to the software/ Vscode here. For example, you Max might understand what Push, pull, staging means, but if you could further go and search, explain them with analogies and maybe even put the m in the description, that would be great. I think you very well explained "commit" meaning "saving permanently".

By watching it the first time, I became so much preoccupied with pausing the video and doing what you do that I could not finish the video, so I thought maybe this is a total waste of time and "JUST" watch the video please:

Watch the video in its entirety one time with minimal to no pause to get the gist

Then watch the video back and try to replicate what Max/ Youtube is doing

More to read ...
I am genuinely curious to know about how other people watch videos. Some people close to me might say oh you overcomplicate everything, oh don't be a perfectionist, but I feel like it is within me to not be able to do things inefficiently. Like why would a 100 people or many more find this video really helpful and even be able to replicate what Max is doing, but I take much more trial and error, it might be that I did not deal with any of these softwares, even MS office until age of 19.

I will however just accept it, be grateful to god that I am this diligent and willing to learn and work. Life is all about detecting and solving a problem

Thank you Max

This video was really helpful not going lying, but I had to go watch another on how to config git to continue the video, thanks

[djfago]

welly explained. i have subscribed sir.

How do you make a video about Git and Vscode and not mention or cover setting up global config? I was familiar with it from Linux but forgot about it and had to set it up here, but how do you NOT even mention it? You also take git bash, etc for granted as well. If someone needs to watch this video in the first place, I can assure you these things are worth mentioning.

It's Visual Studio Code not Virtual Studio than that the video is superb!!
