Learn how a system version control or source code management tool tracks changes, compares versions, and reverts to previous states, enabling collaboration among multiple developers.
Compare centralized and distributed version control systems, explaining centralized VCS with a central server and local pull, and distributed VCS like Git and Mercurial using local clones.
Explore git, a free distributed code management and version control system under the GNU GPL v2 that tracks changes, enables reverting, and supports collaboration.
Explore how GitHub hosts git repositories and provides online version control via Ruby on Rails, with open source and private projects, plus access control, bug tracking, and continuous integration.
Install git across Linux, macOS, and Windows using distribution commands, Xcode, or Winget; verify the installation with git --version and install git from the source.
Mastering Git shows how to create a remote repository on GitHub, choose public or private access, and add a readme, gitignore, and license.
Learn to initialize a git repository with git init or clone an existing project with git clone, including creating directories, navigating with cd, and verifying the .git folder.
Clone a GitHub repository, authenticate with password, SSH key, or a personal access token, and push local changes to the remote repository for collaborators.
Create version tags with git tag, using major.minor.patch like 1.0.0, optionally annotate with -a and a message, and push or delete tags on remote.
Learn three methods to create and switch to a new local branch in git: git branch, git checkout -b, and git switch -c.
Learn two methods to rename a remote git branch, including renaming locally, deleting the old remote branch, and pushing the new branch to origin.
Delete a branch by checking out another branch, then use git branch --delete or git branch -d with the branch name, when removing branch two after switching to master.
Learn to delete a remote git branch using git push origin --delete <branch>, then verify the removal locally with git branch -a and on the remote origin.
Learn how to merge branches with git merge by checking out the master branch, merging the develop branch, and creating a new commit, using fast-forward when possible.
Understand git rebase and how it moves commits from the statistic branch to the main branch to create a linear history, contrasting with git merge.
Discover why git stash saves both staged and unstaged changes when switching branches. Restore them with git stash apply or pop, and manage stashes with git stash list.
Explain the difference between git stash pop and git stash apply. Pop applies and removes the stash, while apply keeps it; video demonstrates stash creation, listing, and pop versus apply.
Mastering git explains installing GitKraken, a cross-platform git user interface, and using it to clone repositories, initialize a project, stage changes, commit, and push or pull.
