Cloning a repository with git clone
02
The Three Areas
8 patterns
Why three areas matter (working directory, staging, repository)
Working directory state
Staging area (index) purpose
Repository (committed history)
How files move between three areas
git status to see current state
Untracked vs tracked files
Clean vs dirty working directory
03
Staging and Committing
9 patterns
Why staging before committing matters
git add for staging files

Writing good commit messages
git commit -a to skip staging
Amending the last commit
Viewing commit history with git log
git log formatting options
04
Undoing Changes
7 patterns
Why knowing how to undo matters
git restore to discard working changes
git restore --staged to unstage

git revert to undo a commit safely
Difference between reset and revert
Recovering lost commits with reflog
05
Branching
9 patterns
Why branches are essential
What a branch is (pointer to a commit)
Creating branches with git branch
Switching branches with git switch
Creating and switching in one step
Listing branches
Deleting branches
HEAD pointer concept
Detached HEAD state
06
Merging
9 patterns
Why merging combines work
Fast-forward merge
Three-way merge
git merge command
Merge commit creation
Merge conflicts why they happen
Reading conflict markers
Resolving merge conflicts
Aborting a merge
07
Diffing and Inspecting
8 patterns
Why diffing matters
git diff for working directory changes
git diff --staged for staged changes
git diff between branches
git show for commit details
git blame for line-by-line history
git log --oneline and --graph
Searching history with git log -S
Intermediate
Part 2: Remote and Collaboration7 topics · 56 patterns
Intermediate
01
Remote Repositories
9 patterns
Why remotes enable collaboration
git remote add origin
git push to upload commits
git pull to download and merge
git fetch to download without merging
Fetch vs pull difference
Tracking branches concept
Pushing new branches to remote
Deleting remote branches
02
Rebasing
9 patterns
Why rebasing creates linear history
git rebase basic usage
Rebase vs merge mental model
Interactive rebase (git rebase -i)
Squashing commits
Reordering commits
Editing commit messages with rebase
When to rebase vs when to merge
Golden rule of rebasing (never rebase public)
03
Stashing
8 patterns
Why stashing saves work temporarily
git stash to save changes
git stash pop to restore
git stash list to view stashes
git stash apply vs pop
Stashing specific files
Creating named stashes

04
Tagging
8 patterns
Why tags mark important points
