Why take this course?
🌟 Practical GIT Training: Advanced Commands 🌟
Course Headline: Take your Git skills to the next level with our in-depth training on advanced commands like cherry pick, rebase, revert, stash, clean, and more!
About This Course:
This course is a deep dive into the world of advanced GIT commands and techniques. To fully benefit from this course, you should have a solid understanding of basic GIT operations such as "add, commit, push, pull, fetch, and merge." Additionally, familiarity with working with a remote repository like GitHub or BitBucket will be beneficial.
Getting Started:
- Account Setup: We'll begin by guiding you through setting up an account on GitHub (or another platform of your choice), and configuring your local machine to work seamlessly with GIT. If you're already up to speed, feel free to skip ahead.
- Basic Review: A brief review of fundamental GIT concepts will ensure we're all starting from the same place.
Advanced Command Mastery:
The course will then immerse you in a detailed exploration of powerful advanced commands:
- git commit --amend: Learn to modify the most recent commit.
- git reflog: Discover how to recover lost commits or changes.
- git rebase: Master the art of moving or combining commits to clean up your project history.
- git config --global alias: Create shorthand for long-winded commands.
- git fetch --prune: Keep your local repository free of stale, non-existent remote branches.
- git reset [both soft and hard resets]: Understand how to undo changes in different scopes.
- git clean: Remove untracked files from your working directory.
- git revert: Reverse the effects of a commit without the need for a messy merge.
- git cherry-pick: Apply commits from one branch to another.
- git stash: Temporarily store modified or tracked files, so you can work on something else and come back later.
- git tag: Create tags in your repository to mark significant points in history.
Pull Requests & Merging:
We'll also cover practical scenarios for performing different merges at GitHub to complete a pull request:
- Squash and Merge: Combine multiple commits into a single commit when merging.
- Rebase: Rearrange the sequence of commits before merging.
Why Take This Course?
Upon completion, you'll not only be proficient with advanced GIT commands but also understand their applications in real-world scenarios. This knowledge will empower you to maintain a clean and linear history in your repositories and provide the tools necessary to troubleshoot and rescue your repository when faced with complex situations.

Our Verdict
A well-structured advanced GIT course that introduces the students to professional practices. However, be prepared for a few gaps in explanations for some of the flags used in command line examples and a lack of thoroughness in certain topics like rebasing and merging. Despite these shortcomings, by the end of it, you're likely to have expanded your GIT knowledge with practical, hands-on experience.
What We Liked
- This course covers advanced GIT commands such as cherry pick, rebase, revert, stash, clean and more, providing a practical training for learners to enhance their skills.
- The course is well-organized with homework assignments and solutions, allowing students to apply what they've learned in hands-on exercises.
- Wide coverage of advanced GIT techniques such as creating linear Git history trees, performing cherry picking operations, using aliases, working with tags, as well as handling Push Requests on GitHub.

Potential Drawbacks
- Some important variations of commands such as git reset, git rebase -i with 'edit' option and git pull --rebase were not covered sufficiently.
- A few lectures contained long pauses and mistakes in the videos, which might affect the overall learning experience for some learners.
- Lacking elaboration on each flag or switch used in command line examples, which may cause confusion among beginners and those who are less comfortable with git command line tools.
- Some topics were covered only briefly or not explained with sufficient patience, such as rebase and merge sections.
