// WHY_LEARN_THIS?
To never lose work again. It's a time machine for your code.
The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Git Version Control. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.
// THE_FIRST_HOUR
Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:
"Configure your username and email. Initialize a repo. `git init`."
// THE_AI_PROMPT
// THE_SCHEDULE
| Timeframe | Module | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Hour 0-2 Setup |
Foundation & Mechanics | Configure your username and email. Initialize a repo. `git init`. |
| Hour 2-6 The Grind |
Syntax & Semantics | Type code until it breaks. Then fix it. Repeat. |
| Hour 6-12 Application |
Mini-Projects | Building small, broken tools using Oh My Git! (Game) + Docs. |
| Hour 12-18 Debug |
Troubleshooting | Pitfall Avoidance: Detached HEAD state. It sounds scary and it is. |
| Hour 18-24 Mastery |
The Final Project | Execute: Create a time paradox by merging a future branch into the past |
Detached HEAD state. It sounds scary and it is.
Commit often, commit early. Write commit messages like you are explaining to your future self.
// THE_GLITCH_TASK
To prove completion, I must execute this specific anomaly:
"Create a time paradox by merging a future branch into the past"
// CONCLUSION
Can AI teach Git Version Control? It provided the map, but the Detached HEAD state. It sounds scary and it is. was a real human struggle. The result? Learned enough to be dangerous.
