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

Earlier it was noted that:

**ALL GIT REPOSITORIES ARE BORN EQUAL!**

In practice, some repositories are more equal than others (i.e., GitHub). This is a matter of convention within a project.
## GitHub


Most people use GitHub as their _reference_ or _upstream_ repository (i.e., the "primary" one), but it could easily be used as a _secondary_ or _downstream_ repository for a workflow. It's up to me (indeed, I do this for some of my private repositories).

### Upstream? Downstream?
The phrases such as "upstream" and "downstream" are not always well-known (but many assume they are). In coding terms, upstream means the repository (or repositories) from which the source code is taken, and downstream means the repository (or repositories) that takes changes to the code from the upstream.

Now that you have some understanding of Git, you will learn about “GitHub.”
