Hi, Just reading this chapter: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-Nutshell I believe that: Figure 3-9. Divergent history (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/book/03-git-branching/images/advance-master.png) does not show the final "2 branch situation" as described in the example in this chapter. On the picture, the master and testing branch do not point to correct commit hashes in the picture. I was thinking for a while why they are swapped and the only conclusion I made is that it's simply a bug in the picture as it also does not correspond to the correct git log output in the chapter. $ git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all * c2b9e (HEAD, master) made other changes | * 87ab2 (testing) made a change I suggest to fix the picture or clarify the reason in the chapter.
