13/14 If you've ever thought: "Learning & using Git kinda sucks!" Devlands was built for you. It’s a game, a visual Git interface, and a guided tutorial all rolled into one. youtube.com/watch?v=BF7FnK1G…

9/14 Any Git repo becomes a visually enchanting world you can explore.

8/14 Commits become blocks on a relaxing island boardwalk. Branches, HEAD, and tags become blocks stacked on top of the commits that they point to.

7/14 In this gamified world, every Git object becomes a physical block you can walk up to. Files become blocks on the "working directory wall".

4/14 I hacked together a Git-Sim x Doom mashup using Pygame + GitPython. It worked - you could explore a Git repo as a terrifying hallway of rooms. 😱 Cool tech demo... but Git is already scary enough. I needed something less stressful.

2/14 Back in 2023, I released Git-Sim - a free & open-source tool to visualize Git commands directly in your own repos (github.com/initialcommit-com…). 60K+ people downloaded it. It was great for people already familiar with Git... but what about complete beginners who don’t even know what commands to run? 🤔

1/14 For the past 2 years, I’ve been building something kooky - a way to walk through your own Git repo. Literally. Here's the story, and what I learned trying to make learning and using Git less ... intimidating: 🧵

#gitsim was featured by @ehmatthes in this interesting post outlining some popular new #Python projects that could benefit from more #opensource contributors! If you like #git, we'd love your help! mostlypython.substack.com/p/…

#gitsim is 3 months old 🥳! In our 3-month dev update, we cover the Community Response, New Features, & The Future: initialcommit.com/blog/git-s… @github @changelog #git #Python #programming #coding #Software #opensource #Linux #DataScience #DataAnalytics #Java #javascript

Git-Sim can now simulate creating a new #Git branch and switching to it: $ git-sim checkout -b feature/1 Git-Sim is built in #Python using Manim & GitPython. @github: github.com/initialcommit-com… #programming #coding #Software #opensource #Linux #DataScience #DataAnalytics #Java

Announcing Git-Sim v0.2.9, which includes 6 new #Git subcommands for you to simulate! (and more!) switch, checkout, clone, fetch, pull, push Example of switch: $ git-sim switch dev @github : github.com/initialcommit-com… #programming #coding #Software #opensource #Python #Linux

Did you know in #gitsim you can mimic "$ git log --graph --all" using the --all flag? This visualizes ALL branches in your #Git repo instead of just the active branch. $ git-sim --all log github.com/initialcommit-com… #programming #coding #Linux #Python #Java #github #javascript

Always exciting to get a new #Git release! 🥳 To celebrate, here is a visualization of Git's repo w/ commits colored by author, 8 commits deep (recursively parsing branches). Created using #gitsim: $ git-sim --animate --color-by=author log -n 8 github.com/initialcommit-com…
