Git is one of the most important tools to any software engineer. It can also be one of the biggest headaches when attempting a complex merge or unwinding a tangled mess of commits.
But what if you didn’t need to rage-quit and start over with git reset –hard? Well, ThePrimeagen is here to teach you Everything You Need to Know About Git. This isn’t just about pushing, pulling, merging, and rebasing (although, that’s all covered). He’ll also show you how git works under the hood and help you understand commit history and solve complex conflicts.
