Nothing about the content of the site, but please stop determining the language of the user based on geolocation. If the browser says he wants English, serve English.
I also recommend an alias like this (and l5870uoo9y has other examples and how to set them as git aliases)<p><pre><code> alias gitlg="git log --graph --all --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%aD%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)%n'' %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(bold white)— %an%C(reset)' --abbrev-commit"
</code></pre>

I'm one of those "I don't want to read the manual" people and have long used git. However, this was very helpful to easily understand some cargo-cult things I was doing. Shame on me! And thank you!
It seems whenever I show someone this site, they're like "oh this is cool!" and never look at it again.<p>I wonder if there's something about it that makes it forgettable? I don't know if I can present it any differently, maybe there's a better way of presenting it to make it more appealing.
Why do the arrows point backwards? (I get it points to the parent, but I'd rather point forward chronologically, any commit history viewers that allow this?)
This is really great resource for someone getting started to understand what's going on. I see many have issues and try out different git commands without understanding the outcome.
One of my biggest pet peeves about modern development is just how many people don't know jack about git even though they use it every day. It really annoys me when I see a pull request with 20 random commits (with messages like "temp" or "checkpoint") or when people merge main into their personal feature branch instead of just rebasing their branch (yes, sometimes that's not right, but I'm not talking about the corner cases).<p>I always think about using "clean up a pull request" as a fizzbuzz-ish screen in interviews. It just seems like a decent proxy for "do you care at all?".
