Basic Git and Github - essentials

Advance your git skills by mastering commits, staging, branches, checking status, inspecting commits, push and pull, undoing and redoing changes, merging, and conflict resolution.

Create commits as snapshots of changes, learn about unique hash keys and the ability to revert and reapply commits, and inspect history with git log.

learn how git add stages changes by adding all or specific files. see which are staged versus untracked with git status and use git reset to unstage before committing.

Demonstrate how to inspect project history with Git status, Git log, Git show, and Git reflog, revealing file changes, commit details, and branch movements across all branches.

Learn to push local commits to a central GitHub repository and pull updates to your local projects, using git push, git pull, and cloning to synchronize multiple folders.

Learn to undo changes safely with Git revert and Git reset, including soft and hard resets, and decide when to apply each across the central repository and production workflow.

Merge branches with git merge, integrating feature branch commits into master, and understand how to resolve merge conflicts when the same file changes across branches.

Explore pull requests and code reviews as essential collaboration practices on GitHub, including creating PRs, peer reviews, reviewer comments, merge conflict resolution, and merging approved changes.

Master common git commands such as git init, git remote add, git diff, git tag, git stash, git stash pop, git rebase, and git clean for professional workflows.
