"There's just one thing, Dude. Do you have to use so many cuss words?" -- Big Lebowski

Joking aside, there is really no need to ruin a great guide by swearing in the subtitle.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand why developers think they need to swear in articles. In this instance, is it because the author is writing in nerd (addressing a seemingly technical concept) and needs to show his article has some universal accessibility by using one of the most understood terms for excrement in the subtitle?

I mean, I'm glad he warned me there is no deep poop in the subtitle because I won't read ANYTHING that has deep doo-doo in it.

Show some maturity: s/shit/stuff (that'd be Sed for replace the word 'shit' with the word 'stuff')

Holy stuff, Batman, you're the guy using the word "doo-doo" unironically while asking adults to "show some maturity".
Hehe, sorry. The "doo-doo" was used sarcastically - meant to show exactly how out-of-place it is to talk about excrement (using any synonym) in the context of a git tutorial.

Next time I'll be sure and add in my <sarcasm/> tags for clairty.
