Git Branches Tutorial

Branches are one of Git's most important concepts. And to master Git, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of how branches work. In this course, we'll look at the many actions you can perform around branches - from creating and deleting them all the way to publishing, renaming, and comparing them.

✏️ This course was created by Tobias Günther from Tower. Tower creates a powerful Git desktop GUI for Mac and Windows. You can download it here: https://www.git-tower.com

Note: This course focuses on using Git with the command line. You do NOT need Tower or any other GUI software to follow along.
