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

[@sin78000000]

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

[@pavankumard5276]

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

[@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

[@AK-vx4dy]

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

[@guiller2371]

This is the best git explanation I've seen.

[@jingwang2111]

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

[@deepaksingh9318]

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

[@silviapietropoli8751]

Simple and clear, thanks!

[@luciannamendonca8514]

Excellent explanation ! Thank you!!

[@user-yq8qw9yg6e]

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

[@theoceandragongaming]

Not at all. You pick that up quickly because you did a udemy course and already had your concepts cleared. This video helps you to brush up your skill and confirms your understanding. If you are professionally working then better you follow udemy or some professional courses. It can be his courses as well, but definately not a 5 mnt video.

[@ildar5184]

@@theoceandragongamingExactly. I feel like these 5 min videos are intended for professionals to refresh basic concepts in their memory, as a cheatsheet. A novice who didn't use git before will fell completely lost after this video.

[@stefano_schmidt]

There is always a guy who writes such a pointless thing under any short-explained videos. Always...

[@TotallyNotAuroras2ndChannel]

Udemy is a piece of sh xxx t. Wasted a ton of money on foreigners who can't speak English and only for the videos to be old and blurry later on It's a scam.

[@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

[@joeylantis22]

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

[@hynesie11]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[@abhinandanraj5660]

Thank you so much!!

[@user-ex2yt1pl6u]

The concept behind Git is easy to digest. The bullshit starts when you mess up your setup; now you are stuck, sitting at your desktop, head full of confusion, waiting on a more experienced developer to come and save you. Lol.

[@DK-ox7ze]

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?

[@avialexandru3071]

Good video

[@kalvakolusubhash4010]

Please explain the git stash concept also visually to avoid the conflicts

[@larryd9577]

Git stash creates snapshots, very similiar to commits. When the base for the snapshot changes opposing to the changes in the stash a conflict is unavoidable. Learn to resolve merge conflicts, then you can resolve the conflicts when applying stashes.

Reomte -> remote

[@MomForgotToNameMe]

Can anyone tell me what terminal is he using? The one that shows the Git current branch and stauts?

[@shreshthverma5877]

How do you animate your videos?

[@Lammot]

So, which hood did you look under?

[@arunpandian7]

Haha, same. I had high expectations from him.

[@gradientO]

​@@arunpandian7you shouldn't be surprised. His previous videos are overviews too

[@ByteByteGo]

Fair point. Update the title to "How Git Works: Explained in 4 Minutes"

[@gus473]

​@@ByteByteGoIt's a tough audience today! 😅 Thanks for these videos! And it's good to see that the answer to "the animation question" is now right at the top of the description! Best wishes! 😎✌️

[@Steelrat1994]

@@gus473 well, when Sahn promises to look under the hood, people expect a look under the hood, not a 4 minute introduction level video. Especially so when it's a video about a tool that the majority of his audience have been using for years(like Git or RDBMS).

[@Anonymous-zi5wr]

What software do you use to demonstrate these items?

[@abrasionthermals9172]

Oh boy that's a long learning curve. You need to develop ability to think like a graphics designer. After that I think they used Adobe After Effects.

[@TheBacker007]

[02:44]

[@EverydayRoadster]

Most confusion with git comes from the non-visible difference between the local repository and the working directory. This video is no different. At 2:35 it describes git pull from remote repository to local repository, but the arrow points into the working directory.

[@r5sec5cyl]

He immediately explains that at 2:45 accurately and sufficiently.

[@AndreasToth]

I like the flow and the pace but the occasional misalignments between the spoken words and the visuals can be distracting and jarring at times and hinders learning. Take, for example, the mention of switching between branches using git switch, yet the visuals are showing git merge.

[@fanxxai]

Rn I’m at the same timestamp 2:55 in the video n realised the strange issue.

[@oopss794]

under the hood ?

[@jalalle1995]

nothing hood about that, that's just the git api

[@andyhall7032]

git blame...thank me later.

[@andriichornyi9143]

You couldn’t really explain how git works in 4 minutes.
