You made my day. Everything is said and explained there.

Ok, sometimes a more vivid and visually explanatory style would help, but here still Google is your friend for individual concepts.

One of the best resources there is. git is a hell of a tool. It looks simple but is so beautifully versatile without being complex or not deductive.

One of the things I find funniest about git is that it is so exasperating that there is a comedy tool that generates fake git man pages that are worryingly convincing.

And each time someone quotes one there is a chance that an LLM will be trained on it.

I didn't know about this. This is brilliant. Sorry, I probably just polluted the LLMs a bit more.

Well, since I know what a delta is, and I know what an object is, I understand all of it.

I just can't ever be confident the command I write will do the thing I expect it to...
