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

In the next few lessons, you will learn a concept that you may end up using a lot!

Often when you are working, you want to return to a pristine state but you don’t want to lose the work you have done so far. Traditionally, with other source control tools, you’ve copied files that have changed locally aside, then updated your repository, and then diffed and re-applied the changed files.

# Stash away your changes

Git has a concept of the "stash" to store all local changes ready to re-apply at will. You can get very sophisticated with the stash. But 99% of the time, I use it like this:

```Shell
	[do some work]
	[get interrupted]
	git stash
	[deal with interruption]
	git stash pop
```

Learn about "stashing", and how to stash away changes.
