The animation would be clearer if there was also an annotation of what was happening at each moment.

Interesting thought - do you mean like a line of text that displayed above that verbally described what's happening?

I was considering adding some more detailed text-based output on the command-line detailing what was going on, but I didn't think about adding it directly into the image/video.

I think it would be helpful in the blog post to list the series of changes happening to the files before the animations

Good suggestion, I will add that.

Exactly that. For example, the HEAD tag moving to another commit doesn’t mean much if a developer doesn’t know what HEAD is or what git reset does.
