shameless plug: www.srctree.net - Ace editor + git + canvas for viewing commits/branches. I built it about a year ago, mostly for learning and fun. I haven't advertised it a lot but it seems relevant in here. I hope it's not off topic!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'll be honest -- that was hard to understand. I don't know the low-level plumbing of git very well, which is why I made a higher level tool like this. Do you think it's important for beginners to understand all these subtleties? I think I could maybe eventually introduce them, but for the first level on the first screen, I don't think throwing a bunch of concepts at them will help with learning. Feel free to re-open…
I'll admit that I don't know what your knowledge is, so my explanation might have been directed at the wrong level. I am drafting a pull request that rewrites this for you, hopefully that will be easier to understand!

Wow! Author here, did not expect this to get submitted to HN yet (was going to finish out a few more levels this weekend and clean everything up). Forgive the giant "TODO" in the help dialog The link everyone should see is the demo: http://pcottle.github.com/learnGitBranching/?demo That shows a few example commands, the completion of a level, and finishes with the help dialog. Some interesting technical highlights -…
Alternatively - some way of level reset should be provided.
Anyway - this is great work!

Simply enough, http://pineapple.io/ was disscussed in another thread [0] few hours ago and your link happens to be second on the list at http://pineapple.io/?reset=true
