Excellent introduction. Would have liked a rebasing example but I understand why the complexities of that would make that a bit difficult. Also, pointer to Pro-Git is appreciated. Have started reading it and it’s definitely the ‘next step’ after this video intro. Thanks for your time and effort… charlie

Excellent refresher. Been out of the game, so this was very informative and concise.
