A visual tool for understanding version control with git.
Git Interactive teaches gives young developers a visual reference for what goes on under the hood for the main git commands: add, commit, and push. There are boxes for each of the 4 states your changes could be in: the working directory, staging area, local repo, and remote repo and an output window with the same output logs you would see using git in a terminal. Users can switch between a visual dashboard with buttons and mock terminal to test out version control for GitHub without the mess of a real project.
This is a learning-only tool. It will not modify any of your files.
