Extra practice

These focused practices prepare you for real-world Git hurdles you'll encounter on a software development job. You can build confidence and muscle memory so you won't get embarrassed in a team setting.

1 / 15
Staging & committing

90% of working with Git is adding stuff under version control. Build muscle memory for putting changes under version control until it becomes second nature. Learn to make precise commits that tell a clear story of your work. Also discover best practices for writing commit messages.

6 concepts & commands
Cleaning the working directory

Real-life development can be messy. Projects may get cluttered with stray edits and files that slip in by accident. Practice cleaning the working directory of unwanted or unintended changes. Also learn about .gitignore, git stash, and other techniques to keep your workspace clean and organized.

5 concepts & commands
Digging through history

When figuring out bugs or understanding code, you often need to look back in time. Who made a change, when, and why? Practice finding specific changes in the project history. Try on the detective hat in a realistic multi-year codebase and trace edits the way developers actually do. Also learn about git blame, every developer's favorite Git command.

5 concepts & commands
Merging, rebasing, and resolving conflicts

Working in a team is easy until you need to combine everyone’s changes. Learn about different merge and rebase strategies, when to use each, and how to recover from mistakes. Practice resolving merge conflicts before they turn into a full-blown code brawl. Also learn about git reflog, every Git pro's secret recovery tool.

6 concepts & commands
Contributing with pull requests

Ever needed to fix a bug in a third-party library or add a feature to an open-source project? Practice contributing to projects on GitHub using the pull-request workflow. Go through every step: fork a repository, create a feature branch, make changes, submit a pull request, respond to feedback, and resolve merge conflicts. Also learn to sync your fork and keep reviewers in the loop.
