What Our Community Is Saying...
Git can be confusing to learn, but is an essential tool for coders to comprehend. Devlands takes a brand new approach to introduce newcomers to the world of Git and build up their confidence. -Mike L. (Parent / Beta tester)
I never understood what Git & GitHub were really about. I think Devlands would be really helpful for young coders, computer science teachers, & parents who want to introduce their kids to coding. -Tom R. (Parent / Beta tester)
Devlands brings a physical representation of Git concepts into a digital world, helping new developers visualize commit history and the working directory in an intuitive way. -Dan K. (Adorable penguin / Beta tester)
A Note From the Creator... Hi, and welcome to Devlands! I'm Jacob Stopak, the creator and developer. But you can call me Jack. I've been using Git for 14 years and, like many, I found it challenging at first. Its abstract concepts make it tough to grasp, but once I understood how Git works under the hood, everything started to click - and I finally felt confident using it. This low-level approach to Git inspired me to write the Decoding Git Guidebook for Devs in 2019. In 2022, I gave a talk on Git's code at Git Merge. In 2023, I launched Git-Sim: a tool to visualize Git commands before running them. It took off, with over 75,000 downloads to date. Now knowing there was a demand for such visual tools, I asked myself: What if learning Git and coding could be even more intuitive? What if you could literally walk through your codebase - touch and feel the concepts in a tangible way? That idea became Devlands. After more than two years of development, I'm thrilled to share this immersive, gamified experience with you. I hope it makes your Git and coding journey as fun and rewarding as I've always imagined it could be. -Jack

Frequently Asked Questions Is this just Minecraft with Git features? No, Devlands is a completely separate application specifically designed for visualizing and learning Git. Devlands is purpose-built for code visualization and Git operations. Do I need to know Git already to use this? Not at all! Devlands is designed for both beginners and those with some Git knowledge. The Git tutorial mode guides new users through all essential concepts starting from square one, while more experienced devs can use it to brush up on specific commands and concepts. How is this different from other coding education tools? Unlike traditional tools that teach coding through text or simplified visual programming, Devlands creates an immersive 3D environment where you can literally walk through your codebase and see Git operations visualized and animated in 3D space. This creates a deeper, more intuitive understanding. What age range is this appropriate for? Devlands is ideal for anyone 13+ who is interested in coding, gaming, or pursuing a career in software development. The visualization aspects make complex concepts accessible to younger users, while the practical Git applications remain valuable for adults. Can this really help my career as a tech professional? Absolutely. Understanding Git at a practical level is increasingly valuable across all technical roles. Devlands helps you build intuition about version control that translates directly to workplace collaboration.
