This reminds me of an idea I've been meaning to get to for the longest time, this sequence of exercises would make a great mini-ctf, it would require the addition of a story to motivate it, and an endpoint to provide responses that would contain information to link to the next step. I was planning to do an interactive introduction to the git commands in this style but this topic would work well too. I think it would work well as a medium for self serve training.

You could definitely mix and match different commands in this mini-CTF tutorial, to give it a bit more flavour. Maybe consider a war-game style game, where each level needs to be completed to get the password for the next one (or, similar online puzzle series where each puzzle's solution links to the next one, etc.). Such highly-linear puzzles have proven (for me at least) to be great learning tools simply because users are forced to focus on one learning objective at a time. Maybe a kind of "digital archaeology" story, in which you have to coax data off of an old server in various ways and analyze old git repos? Does sound kind of fun...
