I have a link to that on my git-fundamentals README (
github.com/dlab-berkeley/git-fundamentals), so obviously, I like it.
Indeed, I think it's super fun and educational... I bet most folks on the
list would still have to think a bit on the advanced challenges. Certainly
*I* do.

A word of warning, however: students who are being introduced to git will
have no idea why you are "wasting their time with this game that doesn't
actually accomplish anything." Students need a lot of motivation, and
perhaps even conceptual struggle with the tools before they appreciate this
interactive tutorial!
