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

## Branch on remote only

It is common to have a branch that exists on a remote repository but not in your local repository. Maybe someone else pushed a branch up or has made a pull request from a branch in that remote repository.

## Example

Type the following out to simulate that state of affairs:

```Shell
1	mkdir git_origin
2	cd git_origin
3	git init
4	echo 'first commit' > file1
5	git add file1
6	git commit -am file1
7	cd ..
8	git clone git_origin git_clone
9	cd git_origin
10	git checkout -b abranch
11	echo 'origin abranch commit' >> file1
12	git commit -am 'cloned abranch commit'
13	git branch -a
```
