I made a short video that finally made Git click for me (11 min)

I struggled to understand Git for a long time — especially the mental model of how commits, branches, and HEAD actually work together.

So I made a short video explaining it visually in 11 minutes: https://youtu.be/s3UVVkmyS78?si=FIe2HrfsKPHV5R0G

Covers:

  • How Git actually tracks changes
  • Branches and commits visually explained
  • Common mistakes beginners make

Hope it helps someone here who's been confused like I was. Happy to answer questions in comments!
