Visualizing Branches

Throughout the rest of this course, we will use text to represent branches and commits. For example:

A - B - C  main

means a branch called main with 3 commits. C is the most recent commit (the tip), B is the previous commit, and A is the commit before that. To represent multiple branches, we'll use multiple lines:

    D - E  other_branch
  /
A - B - C  main

       G - H    lanes_branch
      /
A - B - C - D   main
  \
   E - F        primes_branch
