Conclusion and next steps

Congratulations! Now you are a master of resetting unwanted changes in Git! You've learned how to compare your working tree with the repository, how to discard local and staged changes, and how to amend the last commit to include last-minute fixes.

Up next, we'll explore tagging and branching, crucial skills for managing different versions and features within your project. But before we move on...

Quiz time!

Superb! Up next, we'll explore tagging and branching, crucial skills for managing different versions and features within your project.

Next step

This is a web demo of GitByBit, the one-of-a-kind course integrated into the VS Code editor. Learning directly in VS Code lets you practice Git exactly as you would in real life, doing real work and writing real code.

In addition, the course connects to your actual terminal, so it can point out mistakes and suggest workarounds when you need them.

The course is FREE, with no ads or other nonsense. An optional premium add-on focused on teamwork is available if you'd like to support my work (regrettably, I have to eat every day), but that's entirely up to you.
