Keep in mind that to make changes to your text file using vim, Press i to get into insert mode and then press esc + :x to exit ; Basic Vim commands, you might get stuck ;

Seen many git tutorials in the past. Had been using git for quite a long time now. But this is the best and most easy to understand tutorial I have seen so far. And I learned quite a few new things too, in the easiest way possible.

[nishchayveer]

You are the only one who made me understand the entire git and GitHub only in an hour. I was stuck in an endless loop but one of my friends told me about this video and I am really thankful to him and you as well.

[sanyam_agarwal]

The picture clicking example was perfect for beginners like me. Really enjoyed the tutorial and understood the commands used. Kudos to Kunal for creating this tutorial.

The guests goes to the stage (staging area), then the photographer took the photograph (commit) that saves in the history of the wedding 🔥🔥🔥, this was amazing

[utkarsha]

Honestly blown away by the content. Having already seen quite a few git/github tutorials in the past, I started watching the video with the intention of skimming through the content quickly but it was so engaging I ended up watching the whole video. None of the previous videos I've seen were this good, thanks for putting so much effort into the videos!

[nellykantu]

This thing called github and its repository concept used to go a way abv my head bf. Now i am atleast able to understand. Thank you !

[karamjotsingh]

If you know about something and can explain it in terms that even a 3rd grade student can get it, shows that you truly understood it. Begin a professional, going through your content is fun and just love the way you break things into simpler ways. You are going big, brother.

Hope to help you in some way and help the community.

[nikhilsoni]

I've searched alot about git watched tons of videos on youtube googled alot whenever i want to do something with my projects on git. I never understood concepts of stash, rebase and all. I would like to say "BEST VIDEO ON GIT EVER". Appreciate it! By the way excited to see more videos like this. Great initiative man!🙌👏

[gayatri]

Your passion for teaching shows Kunal, hats off for this. Thank you.

[harshgupta]

A simple note : at 16:28 kunal used vim text editor and opened names.txt file to write some text names and saved the file using (first press esc key then) ":x" hope it is more clear now :))

[WincentSimon]

The quality of the content, excellent presentation, and positive attitude make it really interesting and fun to watch.
The fact that the views are more than the channel subscribers is a testament to this :)

Git has never been so easy for me. Thank you so much for explaining this well. I have tried to learn git many times but often need to memorize the commands even the basic ones. But your wedding photograph analogy did the work. Now I understand everything nicely. Thank you so much.
