Just wanted to shout out how great this courses are. I was depressed and wasn't happy with my previous career, I wanted to change things and find something to be exited about and make a career with it. I don't count myself smart and my previous job was a seafaring one, so I had no idea. The this summer I found your Python tutorial, bought couple more full courses and now making slow progress, even found a starting tech support job. It's not much, but I feel really great and want to aspire to become a developer. Thank you so much, it's fantastic how you help people! Best wishes :)

52:17 You evaluated the bash variables LOCAL and REMOTE, which did not exist or were empty, leaving you with the string with two spaces after --diff. I like to mostly use single quotes when I don't need bash to evaluate anything in the string, but you could have escaped the dollar signs with backspaces as well if you want to stick to double quotes.

Hey, Mosh. I love your tutorials. They are so clean, detailed and beyond helpful. I do have just one suggestion. As a beginner I was supper confused about adding visual studios code to path. Could you put how to do so. When I finally found how to do it, it was very simple and took a short time. Other than that this was perfection. **for the people that got confused around **9:30**** go to visual studios code, Hit Cmd+Shift+p to pop open the command palette. Then start typing Shell Command ... until the Shell Command: Install "code" command in shell PATH option appears. Select this and Code will add code to your path.

Git is the social glue that helps people work together! When I started learning git, I was trying to find a natural analogy... but I could not find one that does not involve the complexity of intelligent people organizing together to make something bigger than what they can produce alone. If you like music, it's like composing and performing a symphony! I find Git easier to understand in the context of individual vs group behaviour such as unit-testing, integration-testing, system-testing, and releasing production quality code. Thank you for this social glue!

[@jakubdomes4954]

Thank you for a very clear and systematic explanation! Just a remark: at 53.13, the reason why $REMOTE etc. disappeared from the configuration file is bcs when you enclosed the "code --wait..." command into double quotes, bash interprets the dollars inside these quotes and expanded the variables to their values (probably nothing bcs they were not set), and just after that bash ran the git config command. You should use single quotes instead to prevent bash from interpreting the dollars inside them.

[@aminaleali7290]

There is a "John Smith" working in most of the software companies. Funny thing is that they weren't born "John Smith." They become "John Smith" after getting zapped and burned by the fact that in order for "John Smith's" code to work, it depends on other pieces of code that others have written and maintain. So when "John Smith's" looks at you and/or your code during the code-review, the internal thought is whether who he's looking at is going to make his life hard or not. Three nights in a row of getting called at 3 am that the service is down would turn St. Peter into "John Smith." Sincerely, John Smith

[@shayanfaghihi]

The best part was the "un-staging" rule which you can easily delete the staged and committed files and folders from the Repo. Let me describe my scenario which this rule fixed that. I had a WordPress Repo which I needed to fork that into a new branch. In that branch I needed the whole files in order to run the WordPress using my local machine, while I needed only the "wp-content" folder being committed to the remote Repo. I used lots of different gitignore patterns but I couldn't implement this goal up until this great video showed me because of the staged commits I couldn't ignore them 😎
