Git is one of the most widely used version control tools, and is something that every developer should become comfortable with. In this course, you will get hands-on experience working with Git so that when it comes time to use it, you’ll be ready.

You’ll start by learning some of the more fundamental concepts such as initializing a Git repository, adding files to a repository, and how to commit changes. You’ll also learn how to clone a repository, and how to create branching.

You’ll then make your way to some more advanced concepts like Git stash, cherry-picking, working with multiple repositories, pushing code, and a lot more.

To really test your understanding, you will complete four assessments that start with the core basics and go all the way up to advanced Git.

By the end of this course, you will have a proficient and working knowledge of Git which will serve you well throughout your career.

Learn Git the Hard Way

Now that you understand a bisect session, you're going to embed this idea by running through an actual `git bisect` session. If the previous lesson felt a bit abstract, then this might help make the lesson more vivid.

# Requirements

What you’re going to do is create a Git repository with one file (`projectfile`). In this file, you are going to add a line for each commit. The first line will be `1`, the second `2`, and so on until the hundredth commit, which adds the line `100`.

In this scenario, the "bug" is the line `63`, but you don’t know that yet. All you know is that you can tell if the bug is in the code with this shell command:

```Shell
if grep -w 63 projectfile
> then
>   echo BAD
> else
>   echo GOOD
```
It outputs `BAD` if the "bug" is found and `GOOD` if it is absent. Obviously, this is an arbitrary example. Your reproduction code for a bug in a real situation might be far more complicated and/or time-consuming.

# Implementation

Type this in:

```Shell
1	mkdir -p lgthw_bisect
2	cd lgthw_bisect
3	git init
4	touch projectfile
5	git add projectfile
6	cat > test.sh << END
7	> if grep 63 projectfile
8	> then
9	>   echo BAD
10	> else
11	>   echo GOOD
12	> fi
13	> END
14	chmod +x test.sh
15	git add test.sh
```
