What this video covers
A Linux.conf.au 2013 talk that explains git's internal model using a playful, toy-based approach. It presents git operations as operations on a graph of commits, aimed at people who find git confusing.
Why it surfaced in Hacker News
HN repeatedly recommends it as the talk that finally makes git's data model click for beginners, despite its odd title.
