Let’s learn Git! Your ultimate guide

[@DzintarsDev]

The issue with Git is not that those commands are hard. The hardest part is commit hygiene. Nobody have a clear idea how to commit, what to commit and what to write in msg. 99% (just my wild guess) of Git users are just dumping the current progress. But in reality every commit should be crafted so that you can work with ot later. Rollback, cherrypick, etc.

[@darrennienaber6488]

100% agree with you here! Another thing with which most tutorials lack, is the handling of conflicts, getting into base, current, incoming, PR conflict managing (backup branch strategies), it's mostly basics, rinse repeat...Not to devalue this video, just an observational opinion!

[@Dev-sf3pz]

I had similar experience. Every tut I looked at showed commands and explained what they did, but I don't think I ever found any which explained the flow of git when working on code. I basically picked chat GPT's brains for a number of sessions asking things like "what would the industry standard for implementing a new feature to a project look like using git", things like that. It's still a bit of a mystery of knowing or even remembering when to stage or commit. I think I've got the branch side fairly well organised... new branch for new feature; a hotfix branch.... merging is a bit nerve wracking at first until you learn conflicts are normal and common, and the merge conflicts UI in VS Code is a God send for that.

[@wrroch]

I feel that git commit hygiene comes with professional experience. People who is starting to versioning their code doesn't have the knowledge about what they should document, when and why. That comes when you start working in a company and you need to follow an organization structure, detailed projects, some products that follow up with version changes.

[@darrennienaber6488]

@@wrroch Yes it does come with professional experience👌🏻My point being is it's not difficult to set up a few git issues scenarios in a tutorial and say "hey when I submit this PR i get conflicts, what could be happening, lets take a look and see how we got to this situation...oh no my branch now contains UAT configurations, no worries I have a feature backup" there are A LOT of painstaking strategies missing from 90% of resources out there...I DEFINITELY hated learning the hard way!

[@christianlempa]

That's a good suggestion! Of course, we'll dive into branches, issues and PRs in future videos ;)

Thank you for creating useful content, void of unnecessary bloated commentary while maintaining an entertaining pretense. It is much appreciated.

[@billramsey5252]

This is awesome! I have been trying to wrap my head around git for years now. I look forward to more tutorials in the series!

[@christianlempa]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy :)

Hi Christian, when can we expect a video about Netbird?

[@christianlempa]

It will take some time, but it's coming somewhere next year for sure :)

This is something I've been wanting to learn. Thank you for this. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@christianlempa]

Glad to hear it!

[@DanzilF]

Hey Christian, loving this content. I think you are creating content on subjects that are not frequently covered, or at least, not covered in a way you explain them. When I started with git, it was difficult for me to understand the concept, but you hit the nail on its head and managed to explain it using simple terms in 20 minutes. Because I don't use git all the time, it still get confusing at times for me... especially when I mess something up and have to revert changes etc... And you still mentioned things I was not aware of! But, the point is, well done, keep going strong!

[@christianlempa]

Thank you so much! This is great feedback. :)

[@cirniman]

I would like to see how to use your repo files for my homelab setup etc. how I can tap into your public repo, make changes to my environment and have it saved in my own repo. What happenes when you make improvements on your files, how do tap into these changes, once I have my own repo? Many thanks as always, great video.

[@dougmuzuva4940]

@mcdoug I enjoy your simple clear explanations breaking down the missing dots of this wonderful subject of Git.

[@grimtagnbag]

Ty for doing videos on what others would call simple. I’m learning and your work helps me ty ty ty

[@djKenpLan09]

There's Christian to our tech-rescue again! Thanks man - another great tutorial!

[@nalle475]

Thanks Christian, this is the basic knowledge every HomeLabber needs before starting to mess with containers and scripts. 👍👍👍

[@christianlempa]

Absolutely! Thanks! :)

[@danieleinfante3930]

Intresting sponsor. It looks very similar to Tailscale, but with an official option to self host. Are there any other differences?

[@netbirdio]

Kernel WireGuard is one of the differences! :) Also the access control is more convinient in my opinion with the grouping feature

[@maltekerssenfischer796]

We looked at both Tailscale and Netbird and went with Netbird in the end

[@danieleinfante3930]

I think that Tailscale is based on WireGuard too, that’s why I asked

[@netbirdio]

@@danieleinfante3930 yes but the userspace WireGuard. NetBird utilizes the WireGuard kernel module when possible (Linux). Otherwise falls back t ouserspace.

[@killua_148]

@@danieleinfante3930 Yes, the difference is the implementation of the Wireguard protocol. Kernel Wireguard should be faster. Tailscale uses wireguard-go, a user space implementation, which is in teory slower but more flexible. I don't know how much of a difference there is, all I can say is that Tailscale always worked smoothly for me (but i've never tried netbird, I should check it out).

Awesome job Christian, thank you. What is the name of this terminal? It looks good.

[@christianlempa]

Thanks! It's called Warp

[@killua_148]

Hi Christian, I don't understand exactly the utility of the Staging Area, to me it looks like a middle step between the Working Area and the committing process. Why do we need the Staging Area? As I understood, you can indeed skip it with "git commit -a"

[@KS-wr8ub]

Thank you! 🙌 love these simplified explanations for us that have no background in IT but love to tinker. What Terminal app are you using on macOS and what are those extensions you talked about? I’m trying to setup Kitty but feel like I’m not experienced enough to choose between all the features. 😅

[@christianlempa]

Thank you! :) I'm using Warp in macOS

[@KS-wr8ub]

@@christianlempa Thanks! Had a look at it now and it looks really nice! Downloaded it through brew. But… who the f*** thought it was a good idea to implement required login to third party servers and phone home statistics on a terminal application?!? And in a closed source app?! No thanks, no matter how sleek it looks. I’ll have to go back to try and setup Kitty.

[@anassnasserallah9883]

Thank you for your video, can you show us how to strcurture branches in a complex project ( for example for in industry, we many different machines and a common part between machines ) how can we work togheter in a project like that and we want to automate some jobs ( testing, deploy...) if any one have a good ressource on how to do it , I will be grateful
