Unit 1: Git Essentials

Start your Git journey with the foundational tools and concepts you need for everyday workflow.

What you will learn:

• What version control is and why Git matters

• Installing Git and understanding basic terminal/Unix commands

• Core Git concepts: working directory, repository, staging area, commits, branches

• Essential Git commands:

  • git init

  • git add

  • git commit

  • git status

  • git log

  • git branch

  • git merge

• How to create and switch branches

• Merging workflows and resolving merge conflicts

This unit ensures you build a solid foundation before diving into more advanced topics.

Unit 2: Next-Level Git

Go beyond the basics and explore powerful commands that improve productivity and workflow efficiency.

Topics include:

• Understanding and comparing changes with git diff

• Mastering stashing using git stash

• Time-traveling in Git: revisiting, undoing, and recovering work

• Learning essential “undo” commands:

  • git checkout

  • git restore

  • git reset

  • git revert

• Understanding HEAD, detached HEAD states, and safe recovery practices

This unit helps you work faster, fix mistakes, and manage your project history effectively.

Unit 3: GitHub & Collaboration

Learn how to work with remote repositories, collaborate with teams, and contribute to real-world projects.

You will learn:

• Creating and managing GitHub repositories

• Syncing local and remote repositories using:

  • git push

  • git pull

  • git fetch

• Collaboration workflows:

  • Feature branching

  • Pull requests

  • Forking and cloning

  • Contributing to open-source projects

• Useful GitHub tools and features:

  • GitHub Pages (free static website hosting)

  • GitHub Gists (code snippets and sharing)

This unit prepares you for team-based development and professional workflows.

Unit 4: The Tricky Bits (Advanced Git Concepts)

Dive into advanced Git topics that help you clean up commit history, recover lost work, and understand Git’s internal structure.

You’ll explore:

• Rebasing vs. merging (and when to use each)

• Cleaning up commit history with interactive rebase:

  • Editing commits

  • Rewording messages

  • Squashing commits

  • Removing unnecessary commits

• Git tags and semantic versioning

• How Git works internally:

  • Hashing

  • Blobs, trees, and Git objects
