    Tim, you are an unequivocal life saver. I cannot even begin to tell you how much your videos have helped me. I was smacking my brain into a wall watching other CZcams videos who made the process so convoluted. Thank you for everything you do!!!

  • @Hintz6
    @Hintz6 Před rokem +14

    I watched quite a few other videos that attempted to explain Git/Github, but I found this to be the best foundational explanation. And yours explained using the command prompt rather than an IDE and it still was more clear than other tutorials I watched. Thanks for this great educational material.

  • @henderstech
    @henderstech Před 2 lety +2

    I love how you say to not just remember the commands but to understand what is actually happening in background. This is what helps me learn the most. not just learning a command. I like to know how it works and what its doing.

    @nopens Před 4 lety +202

    This is very useful! It might seem redundant at first when you have small projects or have very few, but they tend to grow. Make git a habit even if you dont understand why. It will come later as some crucial point.

  • @sancrosanct5070
    @sancrosanct5070 Před 2 lety +9

    Honestly you did pretty damn nice. The explanation was top notch. I was worried you weren't going to address conflicts because I actually deleted the test repository I made watching the video then made a new one using every commands and slowly understanding the uses of each and how changes in CMD affect the file in github. Now I understand pretty much all you said. I'll have to learn about pull requests more though because they confuse me but all in all pretty solid. 10/10 would recommend.

    I was planning to do something like this myself & host it as a workshop for our Computer Science group at my college, but unfortunately my plans fell through =(
    I'm very happy to see you make a video about this & will share it with the people who are new to Git! Colleges & universities don't teach us Git & code collaboration tools, so this is a huge boon for students =)
    Thank you for the video Tim!

  • @techsupport5064
    @techsupport5064 Před 2 lety +3

    I found this very helpful and informative. I am new to Git and GitHub so it explained a lot. Just a couple of notes from a newbie. As you know, at times when you had the two windows side-by-side and your image in the lower right corner, it covered part of the command line window. You did pop up what you were typing as an overlay but it wasn't quite the same. Not as easy to follow and understand as when I could see the entire command line window. Later in the video, I'm not sure if you sped up a bit or my mind slowed down, but I was having a harder time keeping up in the section on branching and merging. But, I can go back and watch again. I liked your style and your step-by-step approach. Really helpful.

      Usually process is: Fork -> Clone Fork -> Make feature branch in Fork -> do work and then commit -> (Possibly) Checkout master and pull with --rebase if anyone else has made commits and then rebase your feature branch -> Commit and create pull request across forks (from your feature branch to the appropriate branch on main repo)

    This was great, thanks! One suggestion though, using actual code (just a really basic function or something) would probably make more sense that "hi" "hello" "new" etc, etc. Especially the part about resolving merge conflicts.

    Thanks for this tutorial, I didn't use git before but now after watching this video, I'm pretty sure, I'll always use git for my projects.
