Animation not that helpfull

This is the first time in my track that I get the feeling those animation videos are more confusing than helpfull. Tomm talks about a specific branch but there are several drawn and at least in my case that causes some confusion, which i don;t think is necessary.

The generall idea of those branches comes through but when it comes to specific branches, it might have been better to just draw those single branches. But maybe i should just make a brake and get some sleep ;-)

Generally in the git-course i think a bit more of those explanations and examples would be better along the time in the console, as it seems to be crucial to understand which branch is where, at what time.

Nah. Most important thing to know is when your console freaks out at you and you confuse git pull and push order and need to merge.

You need to

  1. type a message
  2. ctrl + x
  3. y
  4. enter

then git push

This might make no sense to you now, but if you work in a team and get trapped on a white screen, you'll know lol

I got this one during my bootcamp and found it confusing and the Treehouse one easy, but maybe if you find the Treehouse one not concrete, this might help:

Honestly, the animation looks like it belongs to a different set of lectures. There are things going on in that video that are completely unexplained.
