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

In this chapter, you will learn about:
- `git branch`
- `git checkout`

In the first chapter of this course, we conceptually discussed branches. If you've forgotten that, then go back to the [start](https://www.educative.io/courses/learn-git-hard-way/branches) and refresh your memory.

Now you're going to see how branches are born in Git.



Let's go over what you will learn in this chapter.
