  • Semester: pre-semester-launchpad
  • Module: module-03-git-fundamentals
  • Unit kind: concept
  • Curation level: module_curated

Learning objectives​

  • Explain Branches, Merge, and Rebase in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
  • Apply Branches, Merge, and Rebase to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
  • Use git-from-the-bottom-up, pro-git as a selective source of truth when the learner-facing explanation is not enough.

Prerequisites​

  • Comfort navigating files and editing text from Module 02.
  • A local repository or sandbox where mistakes are acceptable.

Source books​

  • git-from-the-bottom-up
  • pro-git
