What happens when you initialize a repository? Why do you need to do it?
.git will create. Without git init it is only a normal directory.


How is the staging area different from the working directory and the repository?
What value do you think it offers?

"Arbeitsbereich" - hier geht es wirklich ab. "Gelände" ist working directory, "Lager" ist repository.  - offers > funktionaler Hotspot

How can you use the staging area to make sure you have one commit per logical
change?
Only I can do this, or my boss. git diff --staged and git diff will help

What are some situations when branches would be helpful in keeping your history
organized? How would branches help?
Saves one, create an another.

How do the diagrams help you visualize the branch structure?
1000 Bilder sagen meist mehr als wenige Worte, oder so ähnlich.

What is the result of merging two branches together? Why do we represent it in
the diagram the way we do?
One branch with the commit of both. Sorted by time. Git show commitID will open parent
Part2: super diagram.

What are the pros and cons of Git's automatic merging vs. always doing merges
manually?
Automatic is comfortable, when it does not work, I will try to help. I do not know how manually merging goes - did I miss something?

Und nun zu GitHub
