git discourse is always so funny
me a few years ago: i would like to update this text file
git tutorial: easy, here just look at this digraph representing multiple branching timelines showing the past states the text file was in in parallel universes
me: how do i undo

tbh 90% of git tutorials would make more sense if branches were just straight up called parallel worlds or something, at least it’d be entertaining and easier to visualize than some nerd’s lame graph of a text file
