Git Internals - Diff and Patch (merge & rebase series - part 1)

I have received many requests to cover the topics of merge and rebase. But as I like to do in this channel, I would like to set all the foundations first, and really understand what’s going on. To do that, we will start with git’s diff and patch. We will learn how git treats patches, and how it applies patches. We will then apply our knowledge to understand the process of merge and rebase.
