6. History

Conclusion and next steps

Congratulations! You've mastered navigating and manipulating your project's history. You can now browse commits efficiently, compare changes between commits, revert specific commits, and reset your branch to a previous state.

Next, we'll dive into the world of remote repositories and collaboration on GitHub. Just one more thing before that...

Quiz time!

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.
