I've had experience working with Git with my past work, but always used it in a GUI. This lesson helped me understand what was actually going on with Git commands.

A very useful course, that made very visual something that seemed somewhat abstract to me before.

For some reason my moustache grew to extra fast and thick during this course. 🥸 It's pretty abstract and confusing but by the end it starts to sink in.

Really helps with understanding enough detail to grasp what git is doing in your repository while providing relevant commands to get you leaning on version control systems.
