PBS 105 of X Seeing the Past with Git

Published: Nov. 8, 2020, 1:58 a.m.

b'Bart takes us on a time traveling adventure with Git. By using commands like `git diff` we can see changes over time, but we can actually see older versions of the code in a couple of ways. Using the `archive` command we learned out to pull just the files at a certain point in time (without the history) and the more terrifying `checkout` command that creates a "detached HEAD"! Bart even explains why that phrase was introduced and what it actually means. This was a fun lesson and a good foundation for what we\'ll learn next time, when we\'ll learn about stashing and branching to control the past and future.'
