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 you are going to work with multiple repositories.

You’re going to do the same as you did in the last chapter, but this time you will create _two_ clones of the origin: `alice_cloned` and `bob_cloned`.

```Shell
1	mkdir -p lgthw_remotes
2	cd lgthw_remotes
3	mkdir git_origin
4	cd git_origin
5	git init
6	echo 'first commit' > file1
7	git add file1
8	git commit -am file1
9	cd ..
10	git clone git_origin alice_cloned
11	git clone git_origin bob_cloned
```

Now `alice_cloned` and `bob_cloned` have `git_origin` as the origin remote:

```Shell
12	cd alice_cloned
13	git remote -v
```

Alice makes a change in her `master` branch. Type the following three commands in the terminal above.

```Shell
14	cd ../alice_cloned
15	echo alice_change >> file1
16	git commit -am 'alice change'
```

# Current workflow

The workflow currently looks like this:

Learn how to link three repositories so that you can retrieve changes from them to your local repository.
