Git is the most commonly used version control system. Git tracks the changes you make to files, so you have a record of what has been done, and you can revert to specific versions should you ever need to. Git also makes collaboration easier, allowing changes by multiple people to all be merged into one source.
Sometimes you make a mistake and want to go back to a previous version. Here's how to rollback changes.
The Git Stash as a place to temporarily store that's not ready to be permanently stored in a commit. Learn about the benefits of Git Stash!
If you don't want to merge an entire branch, you can choose to merge specific commits... a process called cherry-picking.
Learn Git from expert developers with hands-on training. See our coding classes in NYC or live online, or explore all coding classes near you.
There are desktop apps (or code editors with Git integration) that provided a graphical user interface (GUI) so you don't have to use the command line.
As a handy reference, here are a few common git workflows you'll use.
Pull requests are a way to discuss changes with another developer before merging your individual changes into your codebase. This helps streamline collaboration and prevents confusion.
When you merge two branches (or merge a local and remote branch) you can sometimes get a conflict. Luckily Git has a way to handle conflicts, so you can see both sets of changes and decide which you want to keep.
Git lets you branch out from the original code base. This lets you more easily work with other developers, and gives you a lot of flexibility in your workflow.
