I recognize that URL! Git-sim is so cool!
Thank you! So glad it's been useful :D
OMG, I was cracking up watching that. I kept thinking "this is such a high effort piss take" only for it to finally dawn on me that it wasn't.
W.I.T.A.F.
Lol... fully aware it's a kooky project, but I've had a lot of fun working on it.
either way glad you got a laugh ;)
Kinda! But really only in the sense that they're both "games" related to Git.
Devlands can do so much more (it's can simulate, run, and visualize any command or scenario that can happen in Git within the context of any local repo) and in a much more intuitive way.
It can basically do all this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF7FnK1Gml8

Questionable decision on my part! :D
https://learngitbranching.js.org/ is very good for learning how Git branching works.
Once you're done with the tutorial bit, the https://learngitbranching.js.org/?NODEMO version is good to try out commands and see what the tree looks like after each command.
Yeah! This is a great tool and it's been around for a while. Nice little puzzles and good to have some kind of visual representation. But Devlands can do so much more than visualize the commit graph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF7FnK1Gml8
Kinda reminds me of https://ohmygit.org/

I'm sorry, but it's been ten years and you haven't learned how to handle other git situation? And then you're dependent on Google? Is there a reason why you haven't sat down to learn some more?
Haha yes I am extremely curious to hear the answers to these questions as well to understand the utter stagnation here.
I wonder if the author of this considered using luanti (formerly minetest) as the engine, would have maybe saved some work? https://content.luanti.org/
But perhaps they'd a good reason to go the route they did. Very interesting concept, anyway.
Hey there! Never heard of Luanti, but the reasons I chose to make this in Pygame using this particular open-source voxel engine implementation are outlined in the post :D
Neat game. You might want to check out this other git teaching game - https://learngitbranching.js.org/
Thanks! Yeah I've seen that before. Nice that it's online and nice little puzzles but pretty limited in what it can do by comparison.
