    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.

    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.

      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)

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

    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 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.
