@JStephs1950 Рік тому

At 72 years old and more than one college degree, I've had my share of bad teachers, and good teachers, and so-so teachers. When @Nick started off saying he was going to teach Git like we were 5 years olds, I immediately "liked" this video and subscribed. That's my idea of the best way to teach. The worst teachers have always been those who forget what it was like to not know something; coincidentally, most of them were more interested in showing how much they knew instead of trying to impart their knowledge to students. That was a combination of faults deadly to an enjoyable, informative class. The only thing that will convince me to come back and remove my "like" is if he doesn't live up to the promise and starts getting all complicated and laden with detail. I look forward to finally being able to get something out of Git.

@Jonathan_Strange Рік тому

For people new to git, it may have become a little confusing at 14:30 where a similar word "pull" is mentioned. A "Pull Request" (essentially a request to merge) is not the same as the 'pull' command (which retrieves the latest version from the remote repository). A pull request is basically a note (request) to others (usually handled by the owner) to notify them that you have made changes on a branch and want (request) those changes to be merged into the main (usually 'main' or 'master', but may be another relevant branch, like 'UAT') branch. After a short discussion & quality check (or none at all) and a look at the changes (or not) a merge into the relevant branch is usually done. _Please feel free to add any comments, corrections or clarifications._

@Jonathan_Strange Рік тому

@@catrybou I agree... based on the context of a Developer it doesn't seem like a logical term to use. I suspect it might be similar to the following analogy of the code being like the payload on a row boat. Where we have the following actors: A) "Ship" at sea / your Development Environment on your PC, B) "Rowboat" / your code in 'transit', C) "Dockyard" / Remote Repository (eg. GitHub, Azure DevOps, BitBucket, etc.). When you load your code from your Ship (A) onto the Rowboat (B), you "commit" it to the rowboat. When you send the Rowboat (B) from your Ship to the Dockyard (C), you "push" it to the shore. When you want your code (on the rowboat now waiting in the docks at shore) to be merged into the intended branch, you submit a "pull request" to the Master of the Dockyard to pull your code from the "Rowboat" (B) into the "Dockyard" (C). I guess it is context related, ie. in context of the Dockmaster, he would satisfy the "Pull Request" by pulling it onto shore and into the Dockyard. _Or at least that's the way that I understand it._

Also, he shared a video where he only used terminal commands. Suffice to say, everyone was so confused they didn't even know what to ask about. THIS, however, is just what you want as a beginner.

This video is such a breath of fresh air. I am an old software engineer, and I was there in the early 70s when UNIX first came out. I started reading the documentation to learn it, and it was so frustrating. It seems that every piece of the documentation referred to some other concepts that you didn’t know yet. You basically had to know everything to learn anything. This is typical of how technical documentation turns out when written by engineers or technical people. Would it be so hard to start at the top with basic concepts so you understand how the different parts relate, without having to learn all the details first? This is what Nick is doing here, and I give him five stars for his approach. I hope he can apply this to other areas of software development. Thanks Nick!

@fanifyeyev 3 роки тому

Even though it is really descriptive, I would recommend adding some visual explanation as well. I used a really good technique when I explained git flow to my wife. I used storage boxes as 'commits': I told her, that a commit represents sealed changes, like a box containing a bunch of things/clothes you want to pack. You can put things/clothes into boxes, label them and later send them to a storage room. 1. Selecting things/clothes you want to put into the boxes(git add ....) 2. Putting things/clothes into a box, labeling it and packaging with band (git commit -m "label") 3. Send the boxes(git push.. ) to a storage room(origin) Of course, that is just a simple usage, but any other commands(revert, etc) can also be used in this scenario. That helped her understand the git flow.

"And then you make a repository. Repository means folder. Folder means repository. Same thing." Omg I love this approach. I have been stuck sooo many times in things like this. I am very bad at remembering names, addresses, etc, and it affects my studying because I have to google familiar terms all the time. It frustrates me so much and makes me feel so stupid, though I know I am not. And also, because I am smart in some ways, like logical thinking (maths, coding, algorithms...), people assume I know stuff, and are genuinely surprised if i ask help in "trivial" things. And then they explain them like I already knew it, so I learn nothing. Being smart and knowing facts and terms are two so different things. This video is gold. Thank you.

This reminds me of how accountants "explain" something, and nobody knows what they are saying. Thank you for finally making me understand git and git hub in a couple of minutes!
