Git essentials:

[x] add background info why to use present tense in commit messages
[x] if I enter the name of a folder, e.g., "meat" to .gitignore, does it also ignore subfolder? short answer: no
[x] which file extension does .gitignore have?

Branches:

[x] Merge conflict: Commit on main branch essential before switch to feature branch and doing commit for merge conflict
[x] Merge Conflict: COMMITS need to differ for one to appear
[x] Question: what happens if I delete main branch?
[x] Question: What happens to feature branch content after resolving merge conflict?
[x] add code to rename branch git branch -m master main
[x] what does (was 46rh46) mean when deleting a branch? - answer: it's the commit hash.
[x] emphasize to not forget to delete branches!
[x] book: add commands that visualize branches better

Remotes: Intro:

[ ] merge conflict when pulling
[ ] if you are on a feature branch and pull main, then git will try to merge origin/main into your local feature branch
[ ] pull before you push
[ ] book: explain in detail what git push -u origin main does and what the components are

GitHub: Advance:

[ ] not clear that you need to push the branch first to create a PR
[ ] book: show / describe clone button (how to clone with HTTPS)
[ ] book / slides: demonstrate that you can rename git repo during clone (MAKE MORE EXPLICIT!)
