Brad, I spent many hours with another TH-cam instructor trying to figure out Git and GitHub and while she covered the basics and I got a general understanding, it was this video that really "taught" me. You go through things in a clear, concise, and well paced format that made it all come together very nicely. I very much appreciate it (I have watched and learned from your videos before and have no idea why I did not start off on Git/GitHub with you in the first place.) Thank you ever so much! I have given you a thumbs up and subscribed and look forward to more of your teachings.
@@MKermy bro, with commit what you do is to create a new version. For example now i am committing, so a new version is being created. If i do some changes, deleting or adding etc. and commit again, a new version will be created. But i can still look at the older version since its not deleted. I hope its clear?
@@semihozturk9665 so it's the same as autosaving, except it's manual? Is there any advantages for a single user project over just using an external backup drive, and copying to it every time i save the project?
I have watched about 8 vids by other people that claim to be for git beginners, and was completely lost. I really like that you showed the terminal along side your code editor and then github. Finally this all made sense to me. TY so much for keeping it simple. I am hooked on your vids now.
This is a great tutorial for beginner like myself. I started from very beginning. Installed Git, Atom and created account on GitHub. I was able to create local and remote repository, create new files, clone, push etc. Very worth the time to see this video. Great Job! Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have returned to web development after many, many years away and there's so many new things I need to learn. Your videos have been a tremendous help.
This video was great! I was struggling with figuring out Git from online articles but I believe this is all a beginner needs. You've shown how basic commands work very intuitively. Thanks.
Thank you so much for breaking this all down and describing what editor or site needed for each step. This is the most thorough explanation I have come across yet.
I am Portuguese(Brazillian). I've learned so much watching your videos. Your voice and english speak is so easy to hear or I am understand english very well xD
You're my favourite source of information on TH-cam and Udemy because you're straight to the point, give the essential information and do so in a way that is easy to remember. Keep up the great work!
Seriously I took a right decision watching the video to understand git under the hood. I used to copy paste commands on git bash without knowing the purpose of each command until i found this video. Thank you and keep posting more videos👍🏻
I am forever grateful for your insight and knowledge. This tutorial is arguably one of the easiest ones to follow along and allowed me to feel confident enough to start using it. I can't thank you enough Brad!
Thank you! I’ve been reading and watching a lot on git. For some reason, I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the basics but after this video, I feel like the whole picture makes sense. Thank yo, thank you, thank you!
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial! I really liked the way you demonstrated GIT functionalities that are crucial for us to get started, creating and using some files. I followed every single steps, and now feel much more confident with Github!
I've been trying to get my head around git using visual studio and devops and was finding everything terrifyingly vague, after learning more about the basics and using the command line I feel much more comfortable, I'm under no illusion that I am an expert and am still somewhat cautious but I am not as scared as I was or confused over what is really going on at each step, thanks a lot!!
I'd been watching so many git video for beginers but only when I find this video did I can have my fist commit to my repo, thank Traversy Media very much
This is so much a life saver. I have scoured through the web searching for help, I almost gave up on it since all I want to do is incorporate KiCad with Git. I reluctantly clicked on this video and boom! I can smile so heavily. Thanks Brad! God bless you from Nigeria! :)
Thank you very much for this tutorial! I've followed your beautiful course in Udemy on Vanilla Javascript and I have to say that you have the gift to explain all clearly. Thank you again! Paolo Maria Guardiani
For those who may be finding this video after October 2020 just know that there was a patch wherein 'master' branch has been renamed to 'main' going forward! Hopefully this helps somebody.
Me! Tanks for that confirmation. This is what I thought and paste in Git. But I have an error message telling me "failed to push some refs to 'github.com....". I did every step though, I must have missed something...
The only, THE ONLY Git tutorial that showed me that I can right click and git on a folder, when I have money I'll buy your react course no matter what, cheers from chile.
What a tutorial ! I was working on my local machine and each time I was uploading my project to server using FTP. It was taking too long and boring for me. Then I heard about "Git". I found this tutorial and decided to invest my 35 minutes to learn. I can't share my excitement. It took me beyond my expectations. God Bless you. Love from Pakistan :)
I just wanted to say you are my survivor :) Without your video, I would not learn how to work on Git and GitHub. I wish you could make more videos about how to work on git and GitHub. Thanks a lot for sharing with us
Even though this video is years old all of these concepts still hold true and if you have some foundational knowledge you can definitely acheive everything shown here. This was great man, short and sweet and it gives you all the essentials. I just got into a job that involves creating content on github and this part of it I had some experience with but mostly with github desktop. I can definitely see the benefit of doing it this way as you get a more fundamental understanding of what is happening.
I can not thank you enough for this very helpful tutorial. I created a github account over a year ago but I had no idea how to use it and so it's been sitting there collecting dust. But now thanks to your video, I've created my first repository and I have some idea of how to use it. Thank you so much!
3:00 to 4:40 is extremly useful for someone who just needs a quick short refresher on the important commands. And then branches, exactly what i needed. thanks alot.
nice but i think you forgot to explain/show the most important part about git, how can i go back in time at a certain checkpoint and start the project at that time...
@Abdelwahab Bounasser When using this on a cloned project I can not see any older versions, is that intended? If so where are those saved versions actually saved then, just curious.
Man I had just watched a 1h video on this, and I completely hated how overly complicated things are in git and github, now just by watching you do it, I'm up and running. Thanks a lot!
github removed their support for password logins to push. Do you have any newer videos explaining how to push with an SSH key or one of the other alternatives? I still don't really understand what that is and am a bit frustrated. :(
I was so confused about git ever since I started learning about it. I tried to learn it from my friends, colleagues and it just confused me more. I almost gave up too. This crash course is a lifesaver for beginners. Tysm for uploading this.
I noticed that when you pushed to GitHub and cloned the repo, git didn't use the .gitignore file because the log.txt and the directory ( forgot if it was dir1 or dir2) are available from github. Why is that?
Brief list of all commands used in the video credits: @Traversy Media git init //initializes a repository git add // adds files to the staging area git status // check status of working tree git commit // commit changes to an index git push // pushes to a remote repository git pull // pull changes from a remote repository git clone // copies a remote repository to current folder git add filename.txt // adds filename.txt to staging area git rm --cached filename.txt // removes filename.txt from the staging area git add *.txt // adds all .txt to the staging area git add . // adds all files to the staging area git commit -m 'changed a file' // adds commit message // can also create .gitignore file and add filename.txt to it to ignore filename.txt from version control //branches - working separately from main code branches git branch test // creates a branch called test git checkout test // switches to test branch // all commits will now be made to the test branch git checkout master // switches back to master branch git merge test // merges test branch to current branch (master)
Whatever is your editor of choice. Notepad++ is great, Visual Studio Code also. And lots more. And this coming from an old unix hand who LOVED vi (original VIM).
This video is very user-friendly. It answered all of my noob questions and was easy to follow along with in the process of actually typing, creating and connecting with Git, GitHub and VS.
I've noticed that too. Once you track some file, .gitignore will not exclude it. Brad made a mistake when he created new branch without committing current staged .gitignore and other files. His new "login" branch didn't know anything about .gitignore and that's why he could commit .gitignored files. Once he merged "login" with master, all files were there. It's really strange and confusing... I hope I helped a bit.
One of the best Honest and wonder person he is, his teaching is straight forward on track up-to-date with current market practices. and he just be what he is. I wish you to have outstanding opportunities in your life. Thank you for being on our side. we all are happy to have you in our family. Love from Pakistan. Regards: Mehboob
