Working with Git 29m 21s We'll now start to use Git in a typical development scenario, practicing creating files, adding them to the repository, and then reviewing the changes. We also see how Git creates objects for the files in our repository. |

Undoing commits and stashing 42m 20s We learn how to correct simple mistakes - reverting a commit (rolling the code back to the previous version) and, retrieving files deleted in error. We then see how to use the stash to temporarily save the current edits, and we see how to split changes into multiple commits by splitting the changes into hunks. |

Merging and rebasing 56m 51s In this chapter we explore how to deal with different types of conflicts that Git will detect when merging branches (renaming, text and binary conflicts). We then understand why rebasing can be a useful tool to simplify the merging process, and we learn how to use it. |

Navigating the repository 25m 18s As we commit changes to our repository the structure can get quite complex. In this chapter we use Git's command line tools to learn how to navigate and find commits within our repository. We also explore how to view differences between commits. |

Rewriting history 62m 34s We understand how you can change historic commits to correct mistakes, with a discussion of why and when you should do this. We'll also revisit rebasing and see a more advanced example with merge bubbles. |

Remote repositories 43m 13s In this chapter we learn how to connect to and work with a remote repository, and how to convert an existing repository into a bare repository that other users can connect to. |
