Hey, it's Prime! You have humour, a few vids. There's a bit of work it out for yourself ... tho not much. But the final test of "Will you install anything I tell you?" is decent.

I’ve significantly deepened my understanding of Git. While I was previously familiar with basic commands, I now clearly understand the underlying concepts and how Git actually works behind the scenes
