About

Git is a version control system that helps multiple developers collaborate on a project. It tracks changes made to the project's files over time and allows you to revert to a previous snapshot if something goes wrong. Git's branching and merging capabilities help you work on new features or bug fixes, experiment safely, and integrate changes smoothly. This project offers you a chance to work and prepare your branches.

Graduate project

This project covers the core topics of the Introduction to Git course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.

I learned how to navigate git commands from initial commits & messages to cherry-picking, rebasing, and merging changes across branches to produce a linear commit history. Very nicely structured & helpful project
