This introduction to Git aims to "reveal a bit of the simplicity underlying it". I'm not sure Git is as simple as it is to the author, but this work does help understand a little bit more on the tool and amek it feel less confusing:

@amoroso Interesting, if a bit wordy. The intro to git that really did it for me was: https://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/

(maybe because of my maths background)

@amoroso Oh I've been teaching git for some time and this is a very good selection of the underlying ideas that help understanding what is going on under the hood.

Thanks for writing it!

@ekaitz_zarraga I'm actually not the author, I merely shared the site.
