I’ve read the article before and it’s entirely unclear how it is supposed to be helpful. As the author acknowledges, things like cherry-pick show that one can think of commits as diffs whereas in the git implementation the object known as a commit is a snapshot of the state of a directory tree. Fine, but so what? Both times I’ve read this article my impression has been that the author is relatively new to git and processing some new information they’ve learned.
