7 Git Tips To Overcome Your Fear of Version Control

Straight to the point 👍

I worke in sores tree that will be easy to worke withe git

If you work at any reasonably sized organisation, they probably stopped using "master" for "main" more than a year ago.

great job , keep doing !

Hi Travis, Nice video, very informative. You make it look so easy, LOL! I still need to watch some lessons on how to use this as a beginner. How about any videos on using Developers Tools panel in a browser to help look at your web code. I remember trying to look around for info about that and could not find anything when I was looking. Thanks,

Is that copilot completing your commands on the terminal? That's pretty neat!

Your channel is a gold mine. You have helped and motivated me to learn. Thank you ❤

Thanks for the tips Tavis. Those encouraged me to keep exploring.

Inspired by Travis journey and started learning DevOps. I completed
1.Liux Administration (20hrs)
2.Bash Scripting (17hrs)
Right now learning Git (22hrs)
Next will b AWS. (Will prepare at the level of Solutions Associate Architect)

Coming from other VCS systems, I have to admit that I found GIT a bit frustrating to learn. Git has more commands, and they work differently. I suppose it's partly because GIT maintains a local repository on the local machine so you can work off-line--including pull, commit, etc. So, I think my learning curve was more about making sure I understand the terminology...that is, exactly what commands do what. This is a great video to help understand that. And I love explanations that say WHEN or WHY you would use the different commands--something that's not always clear in the docs. Also, the tip about using VS Code to do ALL git functions is great. I suspected that was true, but I wasn't sure.

Thanks for making this video!

CLI vs UI has been a rivalry since graphical user interfaces exist... there is no right or wrong, no work flow optimized way of doing, there is your preferred way and that's it. Do it however it comes natural to you.

Im offended by you using the word “master”

Everywhere I go , I see version control. I'm fine with everuthing else but, that thing scares me especially when you involve pipelines for continuous integration and development.Every second feels like I might screw up. Thanks for the video.

please please please make a detailed video of merge conflict

AWESOME

It was helpful

Another great video, thanks Travis!

For the tip#1, when you want to make sure you fetch all the changes happening in the remote master you can just do "git pull origin master" in the branch you are working. This is straightforward and does not involve more steps. Is there any disadvantage of doing this?

Thank you for this video. Always appreciate such videos where people sharing knowledge. In a large team, tracking commits that comes from merging is not a trivial thing. The history shows like circuit diagram. While rebasing might be hard as you have to go throw every conflict in those commits and resolve them, but the outcome is a clean git history as rebasing will create new commits hashes.

Here is another one:
You forked an opensource proj, after your change is been accepted and merged, your forked repo is still saying that "you are N commits ahead,"
to sync it with the upstream you can run:

git checkout master
git reset --hard upstream/master
git push --force

Love it 😊

These tips are awesome, would have been helpful when I started my job earlier this year that first dipped my toes into DevOps but it's still helpful to me now!

Thank you for sharing! That was a great video!

this really interested use Cases , thank you for sharing

To Tip1: why not merge from remote/main? any difference beside that my local main is not up to date?

At first I hated Git, I tried to use it and lost an entire day of work. But after learning the basics and work on my own projects I did the opposite: saved my project thanks to Git. Still, I'm scared of working on it on a big corporate project. It's like you read part of my mind with this video. Thank you so much. 👏👏👏

Any one use Tower to manage git? It is a GUI app that allows robust git management. Anyone use it before? I like it but I am looking for additional thoughts.
