You really need to make more courses and tutorials! Despite the internet being filled with tutorials, not all of them are taught with this high quality. We need more of this quality to exist!

Thank you so much. Your tutorials really help me out so much as a noob. I was stuck for days on the whole VS Code - Git hub connecting etc. Looked up many tutorials, but only after your fantastic step- by - step tutorial I got everything fixed and working. You are my Coding teacher goddess !

I will definitely be using your videos to guide me in this career transition to Software Engineer, and Front End Developer! Hopefully Full Stack or Web development in the future!

This 22 min video is far far better than those 2 hours long courses. This video is very crisp and helpful. Thank you.

This is amazing! I feel like I'm going on a coding adventure, especially when the music changes when it's time to click the "Commit ti main" button. I feel the intensity of the quest to become a CODER

[@BlackRoadMusicGroup]

You’re a great teacher. Can’t wait for your responsive design class

[@huangmaurice1672]

This is the best Github explanation video I have come across for a long time. Git, GitHub, Git commands and Git desktop, all these concepts used to confuse me for a long time when I picked up programming. I fall in love with your videos now.

[@jessicabuckwalter1579]

I love how you make your videos. Very visually engaging and your script is straightforward and easy to understand :) Thank you for all you do!

[@ZouariTrainingCenter]

Hey Coder Coder I'm From Tunisia I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your amazing videos on computer science. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I have learned so much from watching your videos. You are truly the best at explaining complex concepts in a way that is accessible to everyone. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@dhul-qarnaynmonir7306]

As always, your explanations made my learning much easier and enjoyable at the same time. Thank you for all your effort.

[@brotherslanguageacademy6068]

I have been searching KZbin for the last three days, and checked most of the videos on this subject. Frankly, your video was by far the best in terms of content and quality. Please don't deprive us of your great videos. keep up the good work what you are doing is life-saver. Love from Kurdistan/Iraq.

[@srijachakraborty2051]

Thank you! I browsed through so many tutorials to get started on github and I got really anxious because a lot of the content was getting too much for me to begin with. Your video made it so much easier for me to get familiarized with github! I hope you post a lot more tutorials!

[@jamieroszel]

Thanks for using the desktop app! When I was first learning GH, so much of it was also having to learn the CLI, Bash, Zsh, etc. and it was all pretty overwhelming. The desktop app makes what you're doing clear...and then it makes sense to work in the CLI after you have a conceptual understanding. I would LOVE an advanced Git course! I still struggle with merging, rebasing, etc. and would love a similar video. Keep up the great work!

[@TheCoderCoder]

Thanks for your kind words! This is exactly why I went with GitHub Desktop vs command line, so I'm glad to hear that it was a good call. I'll keep in mind a more advanced GitHub video for the future!

​@@TheCoderCoderfirst of all: thank you for this wonderfull tutorial for beginners like me. Since I saw your pinned comment about the many views you get, a "follow up" would be very nice and appreciated. Assuming beginners/starters are watching, some examples and describnig how your workflow´s would be when starting a projekt?. when you would clone? when would you fork? (= had issues when cloning foreign repos and not able to "contribute" which I didn´t want because I wanted to improve and learn) templating? etc... ;-))) enough said: THANK YOU
