Great advanced Git training! Two questions: (1) How do you install "git tree"? For me, "git tree" was unknown--or is that only available in certain versions of git? Also (2) how did you obfuscate sections of text in your video? Was that through some video editing software, and if so, what? Thanks again for sharing!

One thing I haven't quite followed, is: what kind of new features 'git' itself has had recently, or is it so the software is mostly being finetuned what comes to the code?
