[@JStephs1950]

At 72 years old and more than one college degree, I've had my share of bad teachers, and good teachers, and so-so teachers. When @Nick started off saying he was going to teach Git like we were 5 years olds, I immediately "liked" this video and subscribed. That's my idea of the best way to teach. The worst teachers have always been those who forget what it was like to not know something; coincidentally, most of them were more interested in showing how much they knew instead of trying to impart their knowledge to students. That was a combination of faults deadly to an enjoyable, informative class. The only thing that will convince me to come back and remove my "like" is if he doesn't live up to the promise and starts getting all complicated and laden with detail. I look forward to finally being able to get something out of Git.

[@mahmoud-bakheet]

yes I agree

[@Jonathan_Strange]

For people new to git, it may have become a little confusing at 14:30 where a similar word "pull" is mentioned. A "Pull Request" (essentially a request to merge) is not the same as the 'pull' command (which retrieves the latest version from the remote repository). A pull request is basically a note (request) to others (usually handled by the owner) to notify them that you have made changes on a branch and want (request) those changes to be merged into the main (usually 'main' or 'master', but may be another relevant branch, like 'UAT') branch. After a short discussion & quality check (or none at all) and a look at the changes (or not) a merge into the relevant branch is usually done. _Please feel free to add any comments, corrections or clarifications._

[@Jonathan_Strange]

​@@catrybou I agree... based on the context of a Developer it doesn't seem like a logical term to use. I suspect it might be similar to the following analogy of the code being like the payload on a row boat. Where we have the following actors: A) "Ship" at sea / your Development Environment on your PC, B) "Rowboat" / your code in 'transit', C) "Dockyard" / Remote Repository (eg. GitHub, Azure DevOps, BitBucket, etc.). When you load your code from your Ship (A) onto the Rowboat (B), you "commit" it to the rowboat. When you send the Rowboat (B) from your Ship to the Dockyard (C), you "push" it to the shore. When you want your code (on the rowboat now waiting in the docks at shore) to be merged into the intended branch, you submit a "pull request" to the Master of the Dockyard to pull your code from the "Rowboat" (B) into the "Dockyard" (C). I guess it is context related, ie. in context of the Dockmaster, he would satisfy the "Pull Request" by pulling it onto shore and into the Dockyard. _Or at least that's the way that I understand it._

Thank you dude, this tutorial was really helpful for me, it’s probably the best tutorial on GIT (at least for beginners). I’d seen many videos, tutorials and different stuff on this topic and still felt myself so stupid ‘cause I just couldn’t get into it, but after your tutorial so many things became clear for me. So now GIT isn’t so scary for me as it was before watching your video. Thank you, keep up your work💪🏼

LOVED this video so much! My professor had a lecture on version control where he causally mentioned Git and GitHub, said we should look into it, and then he gave us like a million different links, and a zoom hangout space where we could ask questions if we were confused like a day or so later. Also, he shared a video where he only used terminal commands. Suffice to say, everyone was so confused they didn't even know what to ask about. THIS, however, is just what you want as a beginner. Basic stuff. Described in simple terms, with simple real life examples. Great job!

This is pure GOLD!! I wrote my first program chillin' (literally) in a big computer room surrounded by a bunch of mainframe equipment. I've managed to stay abreast of all the latest tech trends and keep current in my skills. That is until I tried to learn web development using Java, Springboot & React. Along with that came git. I've watched at least 15 different tutorial videos, some that droned on forever, then this one popped up in my feed. It was a game-changer for me. Suddenly, CLICK! it all made sense. THANK YOU!!

[@edwardwong654]

I love his refreshing style. He already knows that I am an idiot, uh I mean dummy, so he cut's out the noise. Instead he mentions related areas to give you a better understanding of the WHYS of dooing things to complement the WHATS. Good job! Now I am going to commit my comment.

Your vids have been keeping my interest for the course during this boring ass online classes bs pandemic time. Shoutouts to those that interpret stuff as a 5 yo, all the way from brazil.

[@franklanham6936]

This video is such a breath of fresh air. I am an old software engineer, and I was there in the early 70s when UNIX first came out. I started reading the documentation to learn it, and it was so frustrating. It seems that every piece of the documentation referred to some other concepts that you didn’t know yet. You basically had to know everything to learn anything. This is typical of how technical documentation turns out when written by engineers or technical people. Would it be so hard to start at the top with basic concepts so you understand how the different parts relate, without having to learn all the details first? This is what Nick is doing here, and I give him five stars for his approach. I hope he can apply this to other areas of software development. Thanks Nick!

[@fanifyeyev]

Even though it is really descriptive, I would recommend adding some visual explanation as well. I used a really good technique when I explained git flow to my wife. I used storage boxes as 'commits': I told her, that a commit represents sealed changes, like a box containing a bunch of things/clothes you want to pack. You can put things/clothes into boxes, label them and later send them to a storage room. 1. Selecting things/clothes you want to put into the boxes(git add ....) 2. Putting things/clothes into a box, labeling it and packaging with band (git commit -m "label") 3. Send the boxes(git push.. ) to a storage room(origin) Of course, that is just a simple usage, but any other commands(revert, etc) can also be used in this scenario. That helped her understand the git flow.

Hey Nick, great video. Great bc it's right to the point and short enough for my attention span. (and funny. you looked like you just rolled out of bed after a night of partying and remembered you were going to make a vid - yet pulled it off amazingly well!) been programming since the '90's but never used version control software bc it was too much bother to go thru the learning curve. I had real work to do. (microcontroller projects are pretty easy to maintain manually, anyway.) Tried GIT but got frustrated & gave up. Watched your vid and now very comfortable with enough of the basics to do what I need (at this point, anyway). I still have trouble with GIT GUI - it just seems a little to abstract to feel safe using it, so I just keep a post-it around with 4 of your command line GIT commands and that's all I need to setup GIT on a project and feel safe about it - All in about 15 seconds. The only other thing I needed to figure out was the git.ignore file. But that was pretty easy. Once it's setup, GIT GUI makes a bit more sense to me and I can explore it's features as needed. I think GIT is okay and useful, but the user interface has just never been done very well. Your focus on the very basics was very helpful. The other features can come with time and as they become needed and useful.

[@NoMusiciansInMusicAnymore]

This is awesome, I'm not a slouch when it comes to IT but I'm relatively new to coding (lots of SQL but just starting in with python) this is awesome, you really have to understand a topic to break it down this effectively and this is exactly how I learn, if I can understand the basics I can work out the more complex stuff, I really appreciate the videoi and I am now off to check out your other content!

EXCELLENT basic foundationals summary. Other than you missing 'git diff' and 'git status' -- both of which are essential before doing your 'git add' (in my opinion) -- always good to see exactly WHAT my changes are that I am about to commit!

I just watched this for the fun of it while eating dinner. I'm now using git to rollback folders that I'm using while modding games, projects in adobe, and models in blender. Thanks a lot! I didn't realize that this was even a tool that was available to me!

less than 30 seconds in, i already appreciate your approach "talk to me like an idiot" step by step, literally like i'm a moron, this is what i'm looking for hopefully as we're gonna see once i finish video i'll rate it. since i always have issues once i finish a project and want to create a repo on github then upload it from VSCode terminal which i've used gitbash as my terminal priority.
