Description

  • Referring to changes with HEAD and ^: Repetition in last paragraph (using hash to refer to commit)
  • Reverting: "A commit may pop up" -> "An editor"?
  • Covering your tracks: "The silly spelling is gone", except it's not; only the committing has been undone, not the actual changes
  • Last diagram:
    • commit -a should go from Jim to repo in one arrow (like in diagram above)
    • reset is also different to diagram
    • Should checkout go from index to Jim, or from repo to Jim? (also affects diagram above)
  • Be more consistent with staging area and index? Or do we want them to be used to both terms?

Research direction

Check the explanations of HEAD, reverting, resetting, checkout, commit -a, and the staging area against the surrounding diagrams. Done means the wording and diagrams accurately and consistently describe the Git operations.
