Objectives 		After successfully completing this activity, the learner should be able to:
  • Create and checkout a branch.
  • Create and checkout a tag.
  • Merge a branch into another.
  • Rebase a branch onto another.
  • Cherry-pick commits.
  • Use relative commit references to refer to commits.
  • Move branches to a different commit.
  • Detach and move around HEAD.
  • Explain the difference between a branch, a tag, and HEAD.
  • Clone a remote repository.
  • Fetch changes from a remote repository.
  • Merge changes from a remote repository.
  • Rebase changes from a remote repository.
  • Describe the difference between _rebase_ and _merge_.
  • Push changes into a remote repository.
  • Describe the relationship between `git fetch`, `git merge`, and `git pull`
  • Describe the relationship between `git fetch` and `git push`.
  • Delete a remote branch.
  • Push changes into a remote repository after remote history has diverged.

Suggestions to Open Source Mentors

Suggestions for an open source community member who is working in conjunction with the instructor.

  • Mentors might show what websites and resources (Stackoverflow, IRC, etc) they often utilize when they are stuck or something unexpected happens upon committing or branching.
    • What troubleshooting steps do they use in their head?
    • Do they chat or talk to fellow project-members or work colleagues?
