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

Sometimes when using Git you might have seen something like this:

```Shell
	git status
	HEAD detached at 76d43b6
```

## Detaching

The `HEAD` pointer can be moved to an arbitrary point. In fact, `git checkout` does exactly this. You can specify a reference (like `master` or `newfeature`) or a specific commit ID.

The next set of commands will check out the repository at a particular commit:

```Shell
1	mkdir lgthw_git_branch_2
2	cd lgthw_git_branch_2
3	git clone https://github.com/ianmiell/shutit.git
4	cd shutit
5	git log
```
After running the above commands, you will see the log output in the terminal. Hit `q` to exit the log output, and then run the following command to point  the `HEAD` pointer to a specific commit:
```Shell
6	git checkout e36355ed00ac3af009d7113a9dd281c269a79afd
```

Learn how you can switch between different commits either in the same branch or across branches.
