Agree with @matin_mollapur and @komsenapati about the great explainer and humorous and accurate header image... just need to add:

Under the mask is also the same rebel!
The villain in your hero story of software development is your past self!
Search your git blame. You know it to be true.

Great explanation of Git! You did a nice job of highlighting the key benefits of using version control, like being able to recover previous work and collaborate with others. The header image is a clever way to illustrate why developers need to use Git. Overall, a concise and informative one-byte explainer on this essential tool for software development.
