nnja / advanced-git Goto Github PK

I was trying out the slides . At slide no 15,

echo 'blob 14\0Hello, World!' | openssl sha1

returns the following hash

5ad1cb82b3edb9d3ef1ae227745c90bcd23d2120

which is wrong.

we need to escape the characters, so -e needs to be passed to echo

echo -e 'blob 14\0Hello, World!' | openssl sha1

this gives the correct output.

In Exercise Two - Staging and Stashing, Step 4 - Stash your Changes

git stash save "emergency git-casting"
=>
git stash push -m "emergency git-casting"

There's only master in the repo so your instructions doesn't work like in:
https://github.com/nnja/advanced-git/blob/master/exercises/Exercise4-MergingAndReReRe.md

git checkout exercise4

gives:
error: pathspec 'exercise4' did not match any file(s) known to git.

The GitHub repo only has one branch: Master
So, it makes sense. :)

The exercises branches no longer exist and it is impossible to follow the course with exercises.

Hi 👋

Thanks for the course! I'm following it and I really like it.

I thought it could be good to add HEAD^ to instruction 2 of Exercise4-MergingAndReReRe so it reads: 2. Use git reset --hard HEAD^ to reset... . This because git reset is explained at a further point of the course, so maybe not everybody is familiarized with git reset when solving exercise 4.

I know that git reset --hard HEAD^ is part of solving the exercise but maybe adding this could help the people, that aren't familiarize with git reset, to focus on practicing merging and rerere without peeking into the solution.
