CONFUSING GIT TERMINOLOGY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

There are various confusing Git terms like "detached HEAD state," "ours" and "theirs" in merging or rebasing, and "fast-forward." This article provides explanations for these terms. "HEAD" is the current branch, "detached HEAD state" occurs when HEAD points to a commit ID instead of a branch, and "fast-forward" refers to an easy branch update. The article also touches on other terms like "reference," "symbolic reference," "tree-ish," "index," "staged," and "cached" and the differences between "reset," "revert," and "restore.”
