You are a teacher.
This is the best git explanation have seen so far.

Cool video, but I think it would be helpful to highlight the buttons/commands when you are talking about them. Also, which terminal/theme are you using? - looks nice.

I love this series, clear and straightforward

Thank you so much for this video! Please help clarify my understanding of the relationship between
"git commit -m update app name" and "git checkout -b update-name"

In my understanding, "git checkout -b update-name" was you creating a new branch. However, after the changes were made and you used "git commit -m update app name" to commit.

I thought we were going to use "git commit "update-name" as the command to push. What am I missing?

Thank you in advance

Wonderful walkthrough to get going with git! How do one get the same skin for the terminal that you use that shows the current brach?

[alexpulido]

what happens with your local branch ? can you "push/pull" branch locally into your "main" ?

[alexpulido]

can you change your local "main" files and push a copy without a "branch" ?

Thank you for explanation - very usefull.
i use github only with master branch because i work alone on my stuff.

One thing isn't so clear to me after watching this vid about deleting a brach:
Do we have to delete it twice? first delete on my local repo and second on the github website (is it remote? or is it the master branch) this is confusing... maybe because english not my mother toung? usually i undarstand english very well :)
