Using Git & GitHub in VSCode: Stage, Commit, and Push

[@keenanwekesa1723]

As a self-taught dev, this is simple, straightforward, and really easy to understand.

[@blangkowala2395]

why in my vs code there is no .git??

[@tryfon8672]

I watched so many videos on that, as a baeginner i can say that yours was by far the easiest to understand. Thanks a lot!

[@MaxRohowsky]

hey, that's awesome! keep going 💪:)

[@richardwaldron1684]

As a coding and Git/GitHub/VSC newbie I've been struggling to understand the various screens, flows, commands and options. This demo is brilliant and has answered a lot of my questions and really increased my understanding of the above and more. Really easy to following along with, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video. I was looking for a simple and informative video for a long time. Solved my commit issue now. Finally.

[@puneetshakya3001]

Thank you, thank you for this one i was so confused about the git github and using it with vs code but now it's all clear ❤

by some miracle i got it working

[@deldridg]

Wonderful tutorial Max and thank you. I've been a dev for many years but am only now moving to VS Code and Git, primarily working with Django. You have saved me a lot of time and effort and for that I am very grateful. You have a wonderfully calm way of teaching and your efforts are much appreciated.

[@MaxRohowsky]

hey, thanks for the kind words! all the best dave 🫡

[@cheemsburbger5622]

thank youu! this really helped me understand git, its short and direct to the point unlike other vids

[@vertixe2071]

love the tutorial

[@ETKojo]

Very easy to understand!

[@stmav01]

Sometimes you find a video that "just makes sense", this is one of those videos. Only comment, for updated VSCode users, the folder structure and such won't look 100% the same but it works still.

[@MaxRohowsky]

haha thanks a lot ! Glad it helped!

[@Momo-bb2fn]

Where's the article for how to install "step by step" 😫😫

[@zhyakoxalid6892]

I don't know if you'll ever read this, but thank you very much Max. Loved the video, how you presented the video, your voice, your slow and and friendly approach taking in the total newbies like me into consideration. For another video, maybe make sure to stop and clearly define some important common words you use in the video and are vital to the software/ Vscode here. For example, you Max might understand what Push, pull, staging means, but if you could further go and search, explain them with analogies and maybe even put the m in the description, that would be great. I think you very well explained "commit" meaning "saving permanently". By watching it the first time, I became so much preoccupied with pausing the video and doing what you do that I could not finish the video, so I thought maybe this is a total waste of time and "JUST" watch the video please: Watch the video in its entirety one time with minimal to no pause to get the gist Then watch the video back and try to replicate what Max/ KZbin is doing More to read ... I am genuinely curious to know about how other people watch videos. Some people close to me might say oh you overcomplicate everything, oh don't be a perfectionist, but I feel like it is within me to not be able to do things inefficiently. Like why would a 100 people or many more find this video really helpful and even be able to replicate what Max is doing, but I take much more trial and error, it might be that I did not deal with any of these softwares, even MS office until age of 19. I will however just accept it, be grateful to god that I am this diligent and willing to learn and work. Life is all about detecting and solving a problem Thank you Max

Haha, that's awesome! Love these comments as they encourage me to level up and continue! Here's a short answer to the words you mentioned: Push: Is similar to sending your changes to a shared space. When you "push" your changes, you send your changes to that shared space (e.g., GitHub) where others can see it. Pull: Allows you to get the latest changes made by others from the shared space (e.g. GitHub). When you "pull," you're grabbing the most recent updates from the shared space to your own workspace (i.e. your VSCode editor). Staging: Picture a space on your local device for things you want to share in the future. Staging is like preparing your changes before pushing them to the shared space. You put only the specific changes you want to share in this staging area, ensuring you don't accidentally share something you didn't intend to.

This video was really helpful not going lying, but I had to go watch another on how to config git to continue the video, thanks

[@MaxRohowsky]

hey thanks for the feedback :)

[@SabbirImon]

Thanks brother, it really helps to understand basic knowledge ❤❤❤❤

[@MaxRohowsky]

welcome! very glad that it helps

[@sagarr7940]

Thanks for your clear way of explaining things.🥰

[@MaxRohowsky]

Hey sagarr! that's awesome will be making more soon!

[@VyacheslavVlasyuk]

Thanks👌

[@MaxRohowsky]

Welcome 😊

[@turn-me-later]

How can I save multiple changes as a version? For instance, I've pushed and synced multiple times and now I'm satisfied with the changes, so I want to label it as V1. Additionally, how can I do this for V2, V3, etc., and still be able to revisit V1 later to see the original code? This is where I'm stuck. Anyway, thanks for your video!

[@djfago6240]

welly explained. i have subscribed sir.

[@MaxRohowsky]

How do you make a video about Git and Vscode and not mention or cover setting up global config? I was familiar with it from Linux but forgot about it and had to set it up here, but how do you NOT even mention it? You also take git bash, etc for granted as well. If someone needs to watch this video in the first place, I can assure you these things are worth mentioning.

1:24 for mac users: which git /usr/local/bin/git

thanks :)
