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

# Source control

If you’re not familiar with source control, it solves a simple problem: how do you and your colleagues keep track of changes in your codebase?

You might start by:
* Sending each other updated files
* Emailing each other when files change
* Keeping tar files in a central location with version numbers

However, whenever the project scales in size, you encounter problems:
* If more developers are involved, then there is a communication overhead to track all the changes.
* If there are multiple projects running concurrently on the same codebase, then tracking all the changes will get complicated.
* If multiple developers are working on the same files at the same time, then we need something to coordinate the changes.
