š± Hi fellow Git users! š±
I just announced Devlands - the first & only Gamified Git interface, as the follow-up to my open-source project Git-Sim (https://github.com/initialcommit...), which I released in 2023 to allow folks to visually simulate Git commands in their own repos.
Devlands takes the idea of visualizing Git and coding concepts to the next level, by transforming your Git...

Hi Git users!
I built Git-Sim to allow devs to quickly and easily visualize the effects of Git commands in their local repos, while minimizing interruption to the developer workflow. Git-Sim does this by generating .jpg image (default) or .mp4 video visualizations illustrating the effects of Git commands.
Despite its simple design under the hood, Git is a notoriously confusing tool for new...
Git-Sim
Visually simulate Git operations in your own repos
Visually simulate Git operations in your own repos with a single terminal command.
This generates a .jpg or .mp4 visualization depicting the Git command's behavior.
Command syntax is based directly on Git's command-line syntax, so using git-sim is very familiar.

This guidebook fully explains how the first version of Git's source code works. It covers the structure of Git's codebase, the usage of Git's 7 original commands, and a deep dive into the concepts, functions, and actual C code that power Git under the hood.

Hi Git enthusiasts!
A few years ago I was playing around with Git and realized that being a version control system, Git is used to track its own code.
I proceeded to clone down Git's codebase and poke around. Out of curiosity, I decided to list Git's commit history in reverse order using the command "git log --reverse", which showed that Git's very first commit was made all the way back in...

Tell the story of your Git project by creating video animations (.mp4) of your commit history directly from your Git repo.
Visualize your Git project, share it w/ your team, create animated Git videos for blog posts or YouTube, help new developers learn Git.

Hey Git users!
I built Git Story to give developers and creators an easy way to animate the history of their Git repos.
I couldn't find any tools that generate a good looking version of Git's commit history automatically, so I created git-story to do this.
The goal is to allow users to generate video animations of their Git commit history with a single command. Full article at...

The Baby Git Guidebook for Developers dives into the initial commit of Git's C code in detail to help developers learn what makes Git tick. If you're curious how Git works under the hood, you'll enjoy this.

I wrote this guidebook for curious developers to learn more about a tool that we use every day - Git. Most of us use a few of the basic Git commands on a regular basis but don't really know how Git works its magic. This book walks through the very first version of Git's code (Git's initial commit) which is about 1000 lines of C code written by Linus Torvalds in 2005.
The simplicity and...
