I used git a bit already without much appreciation for the 'how' it works, and this added what felt like a sane amount of that knowledge. I feel like this added in some essentials I was missing. The tie-in with github was understandable but a little disappointing. Did boot.dev really have to contribute to Microsofts' capture of the digital commons?
