In this module, you will get hands-on experience working with Git and its advanced concepts.

DevOps for Developers

Git is one of the most widely used version control tools, and is something that every developer should become comfortable with. In this module, 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.

By the end of this module, you will have a proficient and working knowledge of Git which will serve you well throughout your career.

Git and GitHub

This chapter covers:

- `git cherry-pick`
- A revisit of `git log`
- A revisit of `git branch`

## Importance of cherry-picking

This chapter is important because cherry-picking is the simplest-to-understand means to move commits around. This is the basis of the more sophisticated movement of commits, such as rebasing and "squashing" commits.
