Don't be the developer that uses Git to simply add, commit, push, and pray. To truly be great you need to understand your tools.

What will you learn?

In this course, we'll not just learn how to use Git, but we'll go over some of the plumbing commands that make it all work.

To the uninitiated, this course is extremely important. To the initiated, this course will repeatedly have you say, "Wow, I didn't know that..."
