This is an awesome reference but I wish the code was shown as part of the tutorials.

The Github code today is somewhat more complicated to follow.

If you know of any tutorials that walk through a TCP/IP stack with all relevant code I'd love to hear of it.

Have you seen Richard W. Stevens book TCP/IP Illustrated? Specifically volume 2 'the Implementation', which is, I think what you're looking for (albeit slightly dated).

Not a tutorial but did you look at PicoTCP ?

There is also a book : TCP/IP Lean http://www.iosoft.co.uk/tcplean.php

That version is abandoned and has quite a few severe bugs. There is a GPL fork which is maintained https://github.com/virtualsquare/picotcp

Yes I own the series but their focus is a little more on completeness. I know I'm getting picky :) but TCP is pretty complex so I keep looking out for the most minimal code and walk through to understand all the state management and other flow.
