Merge and Rebase: Two Answers to Divergence
Every operation so far moved a pointer. Merging is the first that has to decide something: two branches changed the same project and one result must come out. This lesson covers the three-way merge and the merge base it depends on, what a conflict actually is, and why rebase produces different commits rather than moving them.
Workshops, Retrospectives, and Making It Stick

This lesson covers designing a workshop backwards from its output, running a retrospective people tell the truth in, and why most session outcomes evaporate.

Facilitation is mostly managing who speaks and who does not. This lesson covers why the loudest voice dominates for structural reasons, techniques that redistribute airtime without confrontation, handling the person who derails, and what to do when a group agrees too easily.
