About this track

Start with repositories and commits, then practice staging, inspecting history, branching, sharing work, and resolving conflicts. Git is a distributed version control system: your local repository holds history, and remotes provide a way to exchange it with other people. The command examples are shown for a Unix-like terminal; Git commands are the same on Windows, macOS and Linux, though shell navigation commands can differ.

Before you start

No prior version control experience needed.
You can follow the examples without installing Git; lessons use command examples and interactive quizzes.
