Git Happens: Pull Requests Are Like Asking to Add a Chapter to a Book
In Git Happens, we explain Git using simple analogies. This time: pull requests. Submitting a PR is like giving your new chapter to the editors — they review, comment, suggest changes, and approve it before merging. Learn how pull requests help teams collaborate and keep code quality high.
Git Happens: Why Git Rebase Feels Like Time Travel
In Git Happens, we make Git concepts simple. Today: Git rebase — the time machine of version control. Like Marty McFly, you can rewrite the past to make the present cleaner. Learn how rebase works, when to use it, and how to avoid history-bending disasters.
Git Happens: Conflicts Are Like Two People Editing the Same Paragraph
