I might be a bit late, but this is a great video so I had to leave a comment. It is by far the best one I've seen on Git, carefully explaining basic concepts while also making it practical. Excellent work, David! Thank you for sharing it with us.
This is the first time I saw that git workflow graph, and I like how you keep referring back to it, showing how different git commands are reflected in the flow of information on the graph. It helped me to visualize what I am doing when I use git add and git commit.
I had a pretty hard time with Git myself until I started thinking about it like in the diagrams, it has made (mostly) a lot more sense since then! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this. I'm a long-time SVN user migrating to Git and although I've used it in other teams, administering the migration process has me in a right pickle. Looking forward to the next two videos.
SO impressed by your thoroughness and clarity. You are very articulate and well spoken, the diagrams illustrate your talking points extremely well, it's not overly complicated, you highlight items on the screen that you are speaking to, and you revisit new ideas/concepts regularly - all of which are extremely helpful for new learners. This is fantastic!
fast forward to 2023 :- 18:49 : currently '$ git rm ' does two thing in following order (removal from tracked --> commit) 19:50 : alternative to git checkout --S1 would be '$ git restore ' 22:14 : alternative to git reset HEAD S1 would be '$ git restore --staged' Now you can see a parallel b/w git diff & git diff --staged vis-a-vis git restore & git restore --staged
I'm a complete beginner at programming and Git. I had to watch this video about three times to fully get understand what was going on. But, I can say this is the best explanation of Git Bash I have found on the Internet! Thank you!
Thank you David for a clear and thorough introduction to the basic use cases of git. The best have I seen on youtube so far. The use of the diagrams really brought it home to me.
David, you have such a great tone and pace for teaching. I can push the video speed to 1.75 and still grasp everything. Hopefully you can find more time to do videos on other information technology topics.
A leading cause could be b/c I keep saying "get" instead of "git" ;-). Thanks for continuing to support the videos / the channel Sreeram - it means a lot!
After swooping through more than 10 GIT intro videos, and after full view of 3 of them , I finally found a good and thorough one. Best video. thanks David.
Thank you I needed this! I couldn't quite grasp git with all these random short videos online that don't really teach you anything. It really helps me actually learn git with you breaking everything down for us.
Every Git training I came across always seemed to be an introduction to someone who knows git! Thank you for making this excellent video that does not lie when it says "Core concepts". Truly grateful for this
Incredible Explanation! Not just teaching Git Commands but Most Importantly teaching the Core Concepts. Hands down the best video on Git Fundamentals for an Absolute Beginner.
git is a complex topic and looks like you have figured out the best way to teach it! I like the sequencing of concepts within and between your videos. Also, discovered Scott Chacon through you and it is big! Thank you David.
Man, I had to double check if I was watching some weird "get" command video :D That aside, excellent explanation! Git is something we all use, but I suspect many of us have just memorized certain commands to get to push, while not really understanding the underlying details of what's going on. Thanks for this!
This is my 3rd (or fourth) video on git basics! Finally it all makes sense. Wish I had seen this sooner. Given how much I’ve searched, I think this is the best git intro video for total beginners like me.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. I've been trying to understand git for such a long time, but none of the tutorials were good enough(until I found this video). This should definitely be the first video to come up on git tutorial.
Thank goodness! I tried several other Git intro videos that were just a fury of commands without any sort of of top down guidance. Fortunately I finally found your videos! I appreciated you working with a simple example and continuously going back to the diagram. Your pacing was great, too.
Great Tutorial. You expalined Git terminology in very simple words and with example. I have been working on git for a couple of years but still strugging to understand the entire picture. Your video helped a lot.
I have watched many videos perviously none of them has explained briefly as you did.. Thank you so much sir. I understood the basic concepts of GIT now because of you.. Thanks once again.
I watched this video a couple years ago when i know little English and now I rewatch this again just to realised yours git video series is the best I've seen so far. I'd refer anyone to need to know git to here
@@DavidMahler I dont know what you circumstances are at the moment but I hope you make more video like this! your video quality is top notch. 100x better than professors at my uni!
@David - can’t add much to all the other accolades except that I agree best and most direct overview and intro to Git I’ve ever watched. Best part is the simplicity of your text-file examples used and of course your two prime visuals. Take the complex and simplify it, as you have, and your audience will love you. I will share with my network in the Salesforce world where Git is becoming more and more prevalent, but where there is also a lack of knowledge and understanding of Git in the newbie developer community. Great work.
Hi Don, thanks for the detailed feedback and the specific use case/group you feel this is useful to! I simplify because I have to to understand it myself ;-). I sometimes feel like one (me) has to be a little bit dumb to teach a complex subject well so they can explain it more simply.
One of the most amazing of introducing stuff. I am following your videos for long, and the way you explain in such lucid manner makes things so easy. I have learnt a lot and implemented stuff watching your videos and it has helped me immensely. Keep up the good work David :)
That's excellent. Thanks, Ashish. It's very helpful to hear you have learned some things and implemented them. Comments like this let me know it's worth it to keep making them!
Thank you very much! Completely logical approach. The idea of GIT was there but your videos provided a 'working' foothold after some testing and iteration within my own project. I'm confident that my head will be wrapped around it all solidly at some point, with your videos as reference.
Dear David, you are the best !!!. one of the best presentation about intro to git. I loved the pace of your tutorial. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for your teachings. Thanks again !!. Mat.
4th time I'm reviewing this video. Now, I understand the eye icon: means the (non-hidden) files you can literally see in your file system. You say it but I didn't get it until now. Awsome job David!
I was recently looking for some git introduction, in order to start working with code and suddenly saw this in your channel. Thanks you so much for this Dave, every video of yours is amazingly helpful on my everyday work! will be waiting your the next video about branching and merge ;)
Good timing for me since I just put it out then ;-). Great to hear if/when the videos are actually helping someone! I'm not sure how long to part 2 branching/merging - step 1 get my outline together!

This should be the first video for all "github tutorial" searches.
Thanks!
Well said.
yeah, think so too. but what kinda annoys me is that it sounds like you say „get“ not „git“. :D
One of the best introductory git videos on YT. Explains fundamentals, not just "type this, then this"
Thank you! Ya I have trouble following that way too!
Give that man a medal
Ha, thanks!
Absolutelly!! A fantastic tutorial!!!
What if he prefers a cookie?
🏅 - he deserves it!
Indeed 200% :)

Commit == snapshot!!!! For some reason every other intro video skips this! It was a huge hole in my understanding. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
@@DavidMahler You are breathtaking!
One of the best intros i have ever seen
Thanks, Tom that's very generous of you to say!
This is by far the best introduction about Git.

Awesome! Thanks for that!
Seriously, why doesn't this video come up first?
I've binge watching Git concept videos for the past 5 days. This is by far the best video of this topic !!
ha, thanks!
You got that awesome "audiobook voice" that works really well with the video! Great introduction, thanks a lot!
That's funny! Thanks!
Exactly!
indeed !!!!!! Wonderfull!!
You don't just show and share your knowledge, but you also show that teaching is an art as well!!! Thank you!
Thanks Robert! This comment means a lot to me, truly!
Holy crap!! This is the best video on git I have ever seen. This video should be mandatory for all developers.
Excellent tutorial. The graphical representation of all three areas as you progress through a series of experiments is invaluable.
Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this. I'm a long-time SVN user migrating to Git and although I've used it in other teams, administering the migration process has me in a right pickle.
Looking forward to the next two videos.
thanks!
Magnificent explanation. Thanks for sharing this material so well-structured and easy to follow!
Best pacing I've seen in a Git tutorial. Helped me tremendously, thank you!
You're welcome!
You are a gifted presenter David Mahler. Make more content please. Stunning. Reminds me of the documentaries I used to watch as a kid. Very well done.
Very cool, thanks for the message!

what a great speaker!!! I thought this was a TTS application at first. No stuttering, no pauses; etc... perfect speech.
Thanks, Doug! Uh oh, not too robotic I hope ;-).
