add use cases to (some) example problems

[nikita-petrashen]

Hey, thanks for your awesome tool! It is tremendously helpful to learn such a complicated thing like Git.

A great addition would be to add example use cases for some of the tasks in the course. Without this one might wonder "Why do I even need to to this?" and the tasks turn into moving colored balls around.

Yep that's a fair point. Usually the lesson intros try to hint at where some of this functionality would be useful, or I try to name the branches in a way that is self-explanatory (like the bugFix and debug branches).

That being said, I do think there's value in having generalized mobility and fluency within git. My thought process is rarely:

• I need to do ABC common task
• ABC common task maps to commands 1,2,3
• Execute 1,2,3

It's more like:

• I'm in situation X
• I need to re-arrange the tree in this specific way to solve my issue
• That re-arranging maps to commands 1,2,3

Could you please tell me how it should be? I think there's a mistake here.

You can use show solution to get a more guided experience but unfortunately for interactive rebase, we can only tell you the order (not animate the dialog ourselves):

You misunderstood me. I have already used show solution, the second screenshot shows the result and it is the same, so something is wrong? Well, or I don't understand you, then I'm sorry.

oh it should look like this, which is different
