Let’s get started…
In this video we will look at some common mistakes in Git and how we can fix these mistakes. Specifically we will cover how to discard changes since your last commit, amending commits, cherry-picking hashes, resetting to a specific commit, and reverting to a specific commit. Let’s get started:
The Terminal can be an intimidating place for people who are just beginning to learn how to use it. There is a fear that you will type the wrong command and somehow mess everything up.
In this video, we will begin learning how to use the Terminal by navigating through your filesystem. This is a great way to get comfortable within your terminal, because the commands we will be learning won’t have any side-effects on your system. You can’t accidentally delete files or modify important documents. Learning these basics will provide us with a great starting point for more advanced commands. Let’s get started:
