If you are coming from a specific video, you can have a look at the commits, they are named like: 'video-01: asd', 'video-02: asd', so you can switch to a commit/merge commit and see what exactly had been done, since this repo is currently evolving and sometimes parts of it are rewritten in newer videos.
