Git Koans

Read Original

This article presents 'Git Koans'—short, allegorical stories where a student interacts with 'Master Git' to learn Git concepts. Each koan, like 'Silence' or 'One Thing Well', uses parable and paradox to illustrate Git commands, workflows, and philosophies, such as fast-forward merges, the multi-purpose nature of `git checkout`, and the immutability of shared history.
