Github introduction to version control and remote files

Explore git and GitHub by learning to set up repositories, pull and push content to the server, and manage branches and merges, with Bitbucket as an alternative.

Explore git and GitHub for version control, collaboration, and file sharing. Learn cloning, branching, staging, committing, pushing, merging, and resolving conflicts across main and remote repositories.

Install and verify Git on Windows using Cygwin or GitHub for Windows; learn to clone, branch, commit, push, and merge using the terminal.

Set up a git repository on your computer by installing git or GitHub desktop. Configure your global user name and email with git config to link commits to your identity.

Create and configure a GitHub repository from a local folder, including readme, license, and gitignore, then manage branches master and develop, and clone via https.

Learn how to clone a repository, stage and commit changes, push to the remote master or develop branches, and pull updates to stay in sync with the host.

Connect a local folder to a GitHub repository, pull from master, make updates, commit, and push to keep multiple folders in sync with the remote origin.

Create and switch to a new feature branch with git checkout -b, commit changes with messages, push to origin, test on a staging server, and review/merge on GitHub.

Learn how to merge branches on GitHub using pull requests, compare changes, add comments, and confirm merges to synchronize master and feature, with a quick note on command-line methods.

Create and merge feature branches from master, pull latest changes, and resolve conflicts as you push updates to origin, illustrating practical git workflows.

Compare branches on GitHub to spot differences between master and develop, resolve merge conflicts in index.html, and complete pull requests by choosing changes and merging back.

View the repository history with git log, scroll through commits, filter by author, and use a one-line format to condense the log; explore options with git log --help.

Use git reset and git checkout to revert files to the last head. Fetch origin to update history and perform hard or soft resets to align local changes with repository.
