1. Understanding distributed version control systems and Git's data model ... the first order of business is to read through this entire 60 module syllabus, so that you understand the WHY of WHY Git's data model and Git's approach to distributed **version control** will matter as much as it does to your future study of the topic of data annotation and knowledge engineering, ie ***everything****is going to be built on the foundation of Git's data model and DVCS*. ***As you grasp the lay of the land for how data annotation works, you will see that of course, Git matters***. There's no substitute for a really solid grasp of Git's underlying model ensures you can make intentional, **traceable** changes to your knowledge base. This foundation allows future automation tools to interpret your repository's history reliably and predictably.

> **Why it matters**: Knowledge of Git internals is about lower-level plumbing commands; these commands for the lower level plumbing commands are perhaps simpler than the higher-level porcelain commands that must use to make Git do anything. Understanding how Git works at a lower level is necessary to really understand why Git is doing what it’s doing; this knowledge also helps in writing tools and helper scripts to make a specific workflow work better for you.

1. Understanding [the Git Butler manifesto](https://docs.gitbutler.com/why-gitbutler), [Scott Chacon](https://github.com/schacon)'s Git philosophy, his [interest in language **learning**](https://blog.chatterbug.com/en/how-to-talk-about-language-learning/), and how/why GitButler builds upon immersively communicating in native-tongue ***git****think*, especially everything related to branching in the [ProGit2 approach](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2). [GitButler is seen as a very solid attempt to bridge the gap between the elegant theory of Git branching and the often-messy reality of software development](https://g.co/gemini/share/e3a356db0b78), drawing inspiration from the idea that mastering complex systems, like Git or a language, benefits from tools that foster intuitive understanding and fluid interaction.

2.[Setting up Git Butler for automated branch management](https://x.com/i/grok/share/KWba4PFPn73EPLKJaDsBZwWpm) might seem like overkill for solo developers, but the point of it is in the discipline for that point where the work succeeds to the point that coding invitably becomes social, collaborative.
