@Nick White, bro I got teary eyes watching this video because first time in my life something just goes into my head and just stays there in one try Idk how Idk what happened but it happened. Thank you (btw I know how to use git but this is something else)

[waleeddib]

Btw in all honesty. If you start a for dummies series you’re going to blow up on YouTube. It takes skill to dumb down things.

To Nick: Can u please make this a series for other topics as well? To the others: Upvote this comment if you share the same thought ;)

I like how he seem so frustrated while I'm understanding everything he said. Learning is so much fun

At 72 years old and more than one college degree, I've had my share of bad teachers, and good teachers, and so-so teachers. When @Nick started off saying he was going to teach Git like we were 5 years olds, I immediately "liked" this video and subscribed. That's my idea of the best way to teach. The worst teachers have always been those who forget what it was like to not know something; coincidentally, most of them were more interested in showing how much they knew instead of trying to impart their knowledge to students. That was a combination of faults deadly to an enjoyable, informative class.

The only thing that will convince me to come back and remove my "like" is if he doesn't live up to the promise and starts getting all complicated and laden with detail. I look forward to finally being able to get something out of Git.

This video is times better than any 5, 10 Hour long playlist out there on Youtube, simply awesome

Two years later and this is still by far the best Git tutorial I've found on YouTube. Simple, easy to understand, and didn't want to make me tear my hair out. Thank you for de-mystifying Git and GitHub for me and showing me how simple the basics really are.

For people new to git, it may have become a little confusing at 14:30 where a similar word "pull" is mentioned.
A "Pull Request" (essentially a request to merge) is not the same as the 'pull' command (which retrieves the latest version from the remote repository).
A pull request is basically a note (request) to others (usually handled by the owner) to notify them that you have made changes on a branch and want (request) those changes to be merged into the main (usually 'main' or 'master', but may be another relevant branch, like 'UAT') branch. After a short discussion & quality check (or none at all) and a look at the changes (or not) a merge into the relevant branch is usually done.

I have watched many tutorials on Git, and I can honestly say, this is the best one. By far. Super easy to understand. Well done sir.

[yuji]

I love how he seems impatient and drags his voice over every sentences. It cracks me up and keeps me interested. Thank you dude!!

[csipawpaw]

I'm an old retired guy trying to get back into learning programming . I use to do it as a hobby back in the late 70s080s, back in the days of hexadecimal programing. So I need all the help I can get and I need it as simple as passable. Thank you for understanding the needs of people like myself.

[screaminscott]

I like how you started with the concept of using Git to save your progress. Everyone else always starts with the concept of version control and repositories.

[mikeyserrano]

Even as a 3rd year cs student, Git still confuses tf out of me, so this was VERY much appreciated

[algoa]

Hey Nick, even 2 years later your video is still great. It neatly and clearly provides the basis for understanding Git and GitHub without overcomplicating the basics. Excellent. Thank you.

[karlhill]

@Nick White, This is by far the best ever tutorial I have ever seen!
Plain, simple and no fuzz, small peaces at a time. I love it and it stuck right away. Thank you much!❤
I so wish that everyone who does these kind of tutorials would do it your way.
Keep up the good job!👍🙂

[bingoboingoe]

10x more helpful than any other git tutorial I've seen. Thanks bud.

[k_gold]

Most important note. Always use " " for directory paths and file names, this will not throw any errors when the directory or file has spaces in its name

[nicholasspidel]

I felt like I was wasting my time watching other git tutorials, because everything went over my head. But not here, everything made perfect sense. Thank you! This is by far the best Git/GitHub tutorial on the internet. You're a great teacher.

[alexisrdevitre]

Fantastic tutorial, please make more of those. Every library and software tool in the world should have a video like this up at the beginning. Something that gets you to 80% of the knowledge you'll ever use in 20 minutes so you have some bearings and clear understanding of the lingo that allows you to go and learn the rest if you need.

[harrylongofficial]

I liked and subscribed because after a DOZEN git and GitHub tutorials of people droning on so fast about technical jargon, you put it into fine words of understanding and at a brilliant pace for which I felt in my personal experience. can't wait to discover more great stuff from your channel! My programming work experience starts tomorrow so this was a life saver!
