merge and rebase always scare me.
but after so many years of using git and version control systems, i can say that, understanding the 4 places where code stays is a very important point to understand and clearly remember which command to use when. very good video

[sin]

One of the best videos I have ever seen which explained git working in such an efficient and concise way.

[bigspoonhands]

Best git explanation I've seen or heard anywhere, and by a long way. This is all that is needed by anyone coming from SVN or CVS or some other classic network based version control system to git

[pavankumard]

Best video to understand the CONCEPT of how git works and not just the commands

[yqqwyge]

hours of udemy courses wasted when a simple video of 4 min explained me the concepts 100 times better...

[seim]

I have watched a lot of videos about git basic commands, read articles and guides. Nothing has helped me as much as this video here. Thank you Sir.

[Jarcik]

Thank you very much! Finally I get the difference between working directory and local repository. Thank you!!! Have a great day!

[jingwang]

Been using Git for more than a year and this video still brings much clarificaiton...

[deepaksingh]

Exactly what I had been look for 😁..a visualization of concepts is what i had been searching so far..

[guiller]

This is the best git explanation I've seen.

[maxwell]

yeah, very good animation in a very clear manner. It is an idea for beginners but gives insight for deep understanding for the learner who is on the process of learning who had a basic understanding

[VictoriaJitoboh]

Thank you for making git very simple to understand

[rcltuqc]

Best video with a excellent explication, thanks !!

[AK-vxdy]

You concentrated so much knowledge, explained it shortly and clearly... for free... enternal respect and glory !

[joeylantis]

Love this, just wanted a concept of how git *works* and how to use it on the command line.

[kevinignas]

Hello sir, there's a typo on your video thumbnail saying "reomte". As usual, I love your video so much, very clear and on point. Still wonder how you could manage to explain things very clearly

[ourship]

I've been working officially for 3 months now and still don't know a lot of important concepts of Git, thanks to this video I understand a few things.

So in simplest terms, Git is for collaborating on a project remotely, where we can track and make changes easily, get latest updates on our codebase and also upload our changes to the main codebase. It's like working on a project but from different locations around the world? To me cloning is downloading, staging is checkpointing, committing is saving, pushing is uploading. Branching is working in isolation to avoid messing up the main codebase, pulling is updating my local code with the latest changes, and forking is copying the whole repository with its branches.

At 3:40, under first diagram (Git Merge) if the head is at F, and you do git log then will it show commits C, B, A or commits E, D?

Tried to learn git from Fireship video but couldn't understand. This video helped with understanding.
