DevOps for Developers

Git is one of the most widely used version control tools, and is something that every developer should become comfortable with. In this module, you will get hands-on experience working with Git so that when it comes time to use it, you’ll be ready.

You’ll start by learning some of the more fundamental concepts such as initializing a Git repository, adding files to a repository, and how to commit changes. You’ll also learn how to clone a repository, and how to create branching.

You’ll then make your way to some more advanced concepts like Git stash, cherry-picking, working with multiple repositories, pushing code, and a lot more.

By the end of this module, you will have a proficient and working knowledge of Git which will serve you well throughout your career.

You will cover:
- `git fetch`
- What `git pull` does

By the end of it, you may want to stop using `git pull`.

Let’s go over what you will learn in this chapter.
