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

## Fetching from remote

First, you will look at fetching from the remote.

The command `git fetch` gets the latest changes from the remote repository and copies them into the local repository, updating the local copies of any branches that have been changed.

Crucially, these changes are not _mixed_ with your local branches but are kept in a separate place. So if you have a `master` branch on the remote Git repository and a `master` branch on your local Git repository, then your local one will not be affected.

First, make a change to the origin’s repository:

```Shell
1	cd ..
2	cd git_origin
3	echo 'fetchable change' >> file1
4	git commit -am fetchable
```
