Course Description

This course is a deeper dive into GIT. As such, it is expected that you would have at least some working knowledge of GIT before you take this course. For example, you should be familiar with basic commands like "add, commit, push, pull, fetch, and merge." You should also have a basic working knowledge of working with a REMOTE repository like GitHub or BitBucket.
The first part of this course will just make sure we're setup for the remaining part of the course and serve as a simple review. This includes basic stuff like getting an account at GitHub, setting up our machine for working with GIT, and setting a few default configurations. Feel free to skip this part of the course if you are already good to go.
The bulk of the course will then take a deeper dive into the following commands:

git commit --amend
git reflog
git rebase
git config --global alias
git fetch --prune
git reset [both soft and hard resets]
git clean
git revert
git cherry-pick
git stash
git tag

Additionally, we'll see what it looks like to perform different merges at GitHub to complete a pull request, including

Squash and Merge
Rebase

At the completion of this course, you'll be proficient with some of the more advanced GIT commands that we encounter when working with GIT repositories on a daily basis in the real world. You'll also have been exposed enough and understand enough about the commands to take your skills to the next level when working with GIT. You'll also know what it takes to make and keep your tree linear in your GIT history, and you'll have tools to rescue your repository when things get a bit tricky.Who this course is for:

Beginner to Intermediate GIT users
Developers
Anyone who wants to learn about some of the more advanced features of GIT
Someone who is looking to be a team lead and needs to improve their GIT skills
Anyone that needs to be able to have source control on important files [code, images, documents, spreadsheets, etc]

The explanations are very clear. I just felt changing the files for proceeding with the explanations can be time consuming and I wonder if there is something that could be made different to make it quicker.

best way to understand

By Daniel Malisani on 10/10/2020

"advanced commands" -> creating an account in github? seriously?

By Michael Sekachev on 10/10/2020

Good practical advise.

By Federico Gabriel Roux on 10/6/2020

great info

By Kellen Carey on 10/1/2020

Great overview of some of git's advanced features.

By David Wollmann on 9/23/2020

A good dive into more advanced git commands.
I would like to see the Section 2 prerequisites become a bullet list with a downloadable guide showing how to set up any needed prerequisites.
Most of the assignments are not very useful. I would remove the "did it work" assignments and make sure that the assignments that ask relevant questions include a resource that includes the answers. This would encourage students to review the material and keep forward momentum.

All topics needed in real projects are covered and all explanations were very good.

Excellent course. Simple and educational. Brian goes through all content as described. The course has an appropriate length for the content and you definitely need some git experience before commencing. Thanks Brian!
