Next steps

It’s a collection of short, focused exercises that build specific Git skills useful for a real dev job in a team setting.

• Staging & committing: 90% of working with Git is putting changes under version control. Build muscle memory for precise commits that tell a clear story and learn to write commit messages that make sense to teammates.
• Cleaning the working directory: Real-life development gets messy. Practice clearing stray edits and files, while learning about .gitignore, git stash, and other techniques to keep your workspace tidy.
• Digging through history: Debugging often means going back in time. Learn to find who changed what and why in a realistic multi-year codebase, including when to lean on git blame.
• Merging, rebasing and resolving conflicts: Combining everyone’s changes is when Git gets spicy. Explore different merge and rebase strategies, practice resolving conflicts, and pick up recovery tools like git reflog.
• Contributing with pull requests: Need to fix a bug in a dependency or an open-source project? Go through the full PR workflow: fork, branch, change, submit, respond to feedback, resolve conflicts, and keep reviewers in the loop.
