Hey folks!
I've noticed that it's often difficult for newcomers to
gitto understand what the heck is happening and how the commands work.Here's a flowchart that has helped me explain things in the past, and (more than once) folks have asked me for a copy of it to use as a cheat sheet. Hope it's helpful!
I’ve crossposted this in multiple places where I think it’s relevant. Hope y’all get some use out of it too! (Mods, please let me know if I should take it down)
EDIT: added non-transparent image, hopefully more visible for dark mode users.
Very helpful graphic for newcomers to git and github. It took me a year of seriously using them to have a mental model of how they work. I wish I had this when I started using them.
