today in git zine writing: we spent an hour talking about how to explain HEAD and came up with 30 words that i’m almost happy with as an introduction

(previously: a 2000 word blog post, many mastodon threads, more hours of discussion, several zine pages we’re probably going to rewrite, and several beta reader comments)

basically everything is going great and we’re going to get there

(please do not tell me how you think I should explain HEAD)

@b0rk Really excited for this to be released! I'm part of a ~100 person team finally switching to git. I'm far from an expert, but because I have used git for non-work projects, I get a lot of questions from my teammates. Just this morning, I was trying to find a simple way to explain HEAD to somebody. (I landed somewhere between 30 and 2000 words, but probably did not do a great job.)
