Git is hard. It's also something you're often expected to know in depth, but rarely taught more than the basics. This talk takes more complicated git topics and breaks them down. You should walk away with the terminology and mental models you need to navigate conversations about merging and rebasing in a team work setting.

Prerequisites

Ideally you will have created a branch and committed work before. If you haven't, don't worry! We'll cover that too!
