On: Aha Moments When Learning Git

[kalid]

Hi all, thanks for attention! My passion is finding the "aha!" moments when learning. In git:

  - Git has a staging area before you commit
  - Branching is "save as..." on a directory
  - Imagine virtual directories inside your physical one
  - Show the current physical & virtual directory in your prompt
  - Visualize your branching strategy

That's what I'd explain if I had 30 seconds to tutor git in an elevator -- the rest can be looked up =).

Shameless plug: I'm making a general platform to share these "aha" moments, described here:

The goal is to find and filter the best insights that really helped when learning.

That's cool. Something I noticed - if you sort by 'most liked' it seems to be the most liked entries at the bottom, which probably wasn't the intention.

forehead slap Thanks, I'll be fixing that.
