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

# `git log` 

We have already seen `git log` earlier in the course.

The output is the most recent commit, down to the oldest from the current branch.

```Shell
1	git log
```

# `git log --oneline`

Most of the time, I don’t care about the author or the date. In order to see more per screen, I use `-–oneline` to only show the commit ID and comment per-commit.

```Shell
2	git log --oneline
```

# `git log --graph`

The problem with the above is that you only see a linear series of commits from the `HEAD` and do not get a sense of what was merged in where.

```Shell
3	git log --oneline --graph
```

Learn about the “git log”command and all flags associated with it.
