Hashes as playing cards
The “Magic of Git Exposed” by Andy Benedict (andy at andybenedict.com) Apr 4, 2016 illustrates concepts using a custom deck of playing cards you can print out from US letter paper or European A4 paper.
- Part 1 [7:14] begins with an apt “incomprehensible incantations”.
[2:02] His “Git in One Sentence” is epic (and quite complete):
“Git is a version control system design to track the history of text files across multiple distributed instances, without the need for constant communication between instances, by representing files, their relationships, and their history as complete, raw data blogs stored in a compressed database indexed by statistically unique, content based, pseudo-random hashes and whose entire history and content can be accessed, from any arbitrary starting point, by means of recursive traversal or its node space, which is best represented in the form of a directed acyclic graph mapped, along with its content, in four dimensions.”
Instead of SHA hash codes, the video uses the more familiar references used in a 52-card deck of playing cards, such as the Jack of diamonds. The deck has a known sequence (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, etc.) for each of four French “suits” (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades).
Great idea. But I was confused by the explanation.
-
Part 3 [8:15] talks about a 3-way merge.
The deck of different players are different Git branches.

Juri Strumpflohner, in his Productive Git for Developers offers a video on each piece of great advice:
- Only commit some of my currently modified files into the repository
- Make my git log look pretty and readable 2:25
- Move some commits to a separate branch that I have accidentally committed to master
- Update my feature branch with the latest changes from master
-
Push a rebased local branch by using
--force-with-lease
- Polish my git feature branch before merging or submitting for review
- Automate the cleanup of my feature branch with Git Autosquash
- Squash all of my commits into a single one and merge into master
- Change the commit message of my last commit
- Add a file I’ve forgotten to add to my last commit
- Undo my last commit and split it into two separate ones
- Wipe a commit from my local branch
- Undo a commit that has already been pushed to the remote repository
- Temporarily store some work in progress because I have to jump to another branch

Dan Gitschooldude
From Sep 2015 to Nov 2016, this series I think is the most in-depth among all videos on YouTube. No diagrams. Everything shown occurs on the command line, even the title of each video.
BTW I don’t agree with Dan’s statement: “I purposefully focus on the command line usage of Git, because lets face it, if you’re using a GUI with Git, you probably have no idea what’s going on :P”
Dan is such a technical bad-ass he uses as an example something literally from rocket science (well, it’s a game about being in weightless space, but nonetheless it’s from NASA):

Introduction To Git [13:43]
Notice he defined MacOS alias gs for git status.
-
Your First Git Repo [13:07]
Dan’s hello world is in cpp (C++) source code, of course. ;)
He uses vim as a text editor.
And he shows how to run make to compile/build a binary file that should not be committed by defining the .gitignore file.
Discard changes with git checkout filename
Remove a cloned folder using rm -rf hello-world/.
- Traversing Git History [18:55] looks into the .git folder. git log. git show.
-
Git remote, fetch, merge, and pull [25:39]
Notice he defined MacOS alias ll = ‘ls -al’
[20:01] fast-forward merge. FETCH-HEAD in git pull.
- Git diff and git difftool [15:48] vimdiff, meld, etc. git diff HEAD HEAD^

Books
Are authors of these top books on Git camera-shy?
Alan Hohn wrote Conversational Git at http://blog.anvard.org/conversational-git. Code for the book’s website is in the gh-branches branch of a repo in GitHub. As of this writing, the last commit was in 2014, before Git 2.0. However, the book provides contrast of Git vs. Subversion.
