Hope this video helps you learn the fundamentals of Git and GitHub! I do realize some of the commands were hidden behind my face-cam so I wrote a list of them here for your reference!
⌨ Common GitHub Commands ⌨
To create a new repository locally: git init
To add files to staging area: git add . OR git add ~filename~
To check status of staging area: git status
To commit new changes: git commit -m "commit message"
To create a new branch: git checkout -b ~branch name~

Oh wow. This has got to be one of your longest videos yet. Nicely made!
Can we have any name of my wish in place of remote name ? Reply will be very thankful, I’m new to Git & Github !
Edit: Got the answer myself , Yes we can ! Just tried it out.
This pretty much covers general every day commands that I use with Git, kudos for the concise list!
Tim this was fantastic man, well done!
You have talent to explain for beginners. Thanks for the video!
The people who disliked are people who upload their projects to google drive
nice idea not gonna lie XD
ik people whose do this lol
Is this a legit thing?
I either used to put it on drive or pastebin XD
@Saketh p 😂💀
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!!!
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.
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.
This is one of the best pieces of educational material I've seen on youtube; so well articulated, so clear, so comprehensive, and so easy to understand. Bravo sir! Subbed
exactly
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.
True!
I have been developing for 25 years and I can't tell you how impressed I am with you. You have a great future ahead.
I am impressed with the way how the young man is able to explain and perform ! Thank you for that
I guess it's true that if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough. You sir really understand it. Great video. 👏
The amount of relief you have provided me is immeasurable and I want to give you a big thank you for making this seem so unscary
Thank you Tim - I learned Git today!!! I actually bailed out on 2 other videos before finding yours. Your style fits my learning curve!!
Spot on Thanks again.
the clearest tutorial I've found on CZcams. Thank you Tim you are a legend!
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.
Brooooo!!! I am telling you! This is the best git tutorial I have come across on YT! Literally the BEST! So lucidly explained! Beautiful video
Ultimate course. Nothing i knew in git, now understood basic operations in a more precise and practical way.
Bruh just yes, what a great explainer. Thank you thank you! Lots of time people teach the theory and not the commands, you put it all in one. Great job!
You’re the blitz of programming tutors. Straight to the point .
this is my fifth git tutorial and hes the first one to make me understand branches and pull requests!
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!
I am in College and i cannot believe you EXPPLAIN SO MUCH BETTER THAn my lecturers, you deserve a like good man, and also a subscribe.
Clear navigation and language, and straight to the point. Super helpful. Thank you!
I truly appreciate how simple and clearly you've explained this!
You have done a very good job introducing fundamental github operations for beginners. Your instructions are very clear and systematic. Thank you!
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.
This is powerful! The simplicity of its videography speaks volume even in a short while!
man this video was VERY helpful. I'm a few weeks into the odin project and needed a better understanding of pushing onto GitHub and pulling from GitHub & after this video I feel A LOT more confident so I appreciate it.
I looked for a thousands tutorials and the one's that helped me the most was yours!! Thank u so much!!!
It's been about 10 years since I used git and never used GitHub. This was a great primer. Thanks for your contribution.
Couldnt have been a more perfect time
Literally, lmao. I have a school project that I need to push to GitHub and was high-key lost.
I swear
Not gonna lie. This is the video that solved all the issues I have had with git and github. Thanks for this video Man. 🤙
This was amazing, I tried following other ones but they often used Macs and did things that weren't the same on mine. Also explaining how it works made it much easier to follow. Thanks again!
Amazing tutorial, the clearest explanation I've found on CZcams. You are a great teacher, thank you !
Wow this is really useful! I’m currently leading a GitHub project with a few others and this is just the video I needed!
This is so amazing! I understood everything even as a beginner. All the other tutorials I've watched didn't really explain anything but yours is truly unique. Thank you so much
Hey Tim -- don't apologize this was a FANTASTIC video and got me up and running fast :) Carry on with the great work!
That’s brilliant! I was hoping for this video as I saw a few comments for people asking for it! Thank you Tim!
Git was confusing me for about 2 YEARS! I finally understood how it works!!
Excellent tutorial. Complete and simple, as like as a tutorial should be!
Thank you very much.
I thought about learning git a few seconds before, opened CZcams and your video shows up!
This video couldn’t be more clear Tim, continue doing this helpful videos!
That was on of the greatest learning videos i've watched in my life. You explain stuff so well, wow!
just started learning 3 days ago im really glade i found your channel thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything
Simple, well explained, and best git and repo tutorial over the internet. Many thanks!
You did a great job, and allowed me to grasp this otherwise challenging topic. In fact, you introduced fundamentals as they should. When I checked other videos they digress, and that makes one lose focus. Thank you for real!!
Excellent! This is what I wanted! Super simple explanation with examples. Thanks a lot Tim!
Excellent job! I didn't know anything about git or github before I watched this video. Now I feel like I can use them for what I need to do for now. Thank you.
Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make this. I have always made messes of my git commands and git flow and this clarified a LOT for me.
Absolutely brilliant. You taught me everything I wanted and more! Thanks Tim
This tutorial is just the best! Thanks Tim for making it. Been struggling with github for a minute and now I think I understood what's in all of those commands. Thanks so much🤗
coming from something approaching 0 prior knowledge, this was really good. I could keep up fine (with a few skip backs here and there of course). well explained :)
No sir! This video was not confusing at all. After attempting to learn how to learn git and GitHub by watching other videos. Yours made so much sense! Thank you!
Thank you for taking it slowly for us newbies! super helpful.
this was super helpful, thank you for making it! I realized I was kind of getting lost in my own coding schemes, so I decided to get into github to clean up my own mess!
I have been trying to understand git and github but i couldnt go through a few minutes of other tutorials . This however explained it so well. Thank you very much.
I'm sold bro. I'll be watching all your videos. Just where I'm at! Thank you for doing this.
This is the best explanation of Git and Github I have found. Thanks!
Good job! I liked how you described how you deal with conflicts and how to resolve them. I previously watched some other git tutorials and didn't quite understand it then, but now I do. Thanks.
Thank you, Tim!
This is the exact tutorial I was looking for!
I should have looked this stuff up years ago wow, it's so useful. Thank you Tim!
Your thumbnails are really good. Gives the 2020 aesthetic.
One of the best and most underrated GitHub tutorials ever!
I love this. I just started getting into javascript (front end ) and this was so helpful and simple. RARE! thanks
You are a simple genius!! I've heard about git, however, this breakdown and lesson is practically life saving!! Thank You!
Really nice that you made drawings and focused on the concept. I have watched other tutorials and the often most focus on commands
Bro... u are insane... my software development lecturer wasnt able to teach that in 4h but u did it in 40min
Clear structure, everything said you need to know
Plz keep on this nice work:)
Perfect time Tim !! Just wanted this!
They only tutorial on CZcams that made sense and worked! Thanks, man. At the time of this comment it looks like the github username and password work just fine for authentication. Thanks, again.
Please make a video on how to contribute to open project as a newcomers.
Go to the explore tab of github. Sort by lowest number of stars and then choose one you would like to contribute.
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)
@@menace992 What does --rebase mean here? I mean what is its purpose?
@@deepanshuchg It syncs your remote repo with the one on your local device. For example, if someone added a new file perhaps your team member and you do not have that particular file on your local device you will need to pull and rebase to get that file on your local machine only then will you be able to push a new commit to a remote repo
Thank you so much for this training. Your visual approach really outlines it for me, a beginner. Kudos!
This is the best tutorial about Github on youtube thank you for your clear and simple explanation
This great video pairs well with the git book from the git website's docs section. You are very clear and explicit with your explanations. Thanks for making this helpful video!
Wow love this! A really good explanation and was easy to understand about the concepts! Your really making out futures right here! Good luck on your future projects and your life as well sir!
High Tim, this is really excellent stuff I will highly recommend to my clients and friends. Keep going!
Very clear, step-by-step logical flow! Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Best Git and GitHub video on CZcams! Thank you
Chandler : Could this be more perfect !!!!
Amazing video , man.
Thanks for this explanation it is clear and the pace was just right. I took a lot of notes. I'm a senior still learning new things everyday especially computer programing as a hobby
1 Month ago when I watched this I just followed what he was doing and didn't understand anything. Now watching this tutorial again a lot of what he is talking about makes sense and I understand it. I love coding so much haha
This is the best git tutorial i have seen, it really helped me out. Thanks Tim :)
Thanks for the content, Tim! That was great for beginners, well explained. Keep going!
Its 2023 and its still GOLD.
Thank you for the tutorial.
It was perfect. I was so confused before watching your video. thank you so much for being that much great :)
Tim! You are a great teacher. Do not stop to make videos for us )(())))
This tutorial actually cleared all of my doubts. I will now take enough time out and improve my skills as its directs me....
Wonderfully explained.....this was what I was looking for on youtube since a long time
This is such a great tutorial Tim, thank you!
thank you for the visual representations !! it really helped me understand the fundamentals.
I really appreciate the level of detail you went into with this. Great video
Awesome video again, keep up the good work Tim✌
Thank you, thank you , thank you! This was very well done, clear concise and easy to understand!!
Many thanks, Tim! Glad I passed by here.
Wasn't gonna watch this, ended up watching the whole thing, clicked the subscribe button! :D
You save my life, mate! Thank you from Brazil!
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.
love this one. I think this one is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched about git&github.
This was a nice video! This is a bit challenging topic but you explained it nicely.Thank you Tim!
Tim, you are the best. Thank you very much for making git and github so easy. God bless you bro.
You have teaching skills! Short and simple!
