Branching and synchronization

In this course, participants are introduced to the techniques of branching and synchronization in Git. First, they learn how to create and manage branches. This includes creating new branches for isolated feature development or bug fixing as well as managing existing branches.

An important focus is on the various branching strategies. Participants will learn how to use feature branches for new feature development and hotfixes for urgent bug fixes. These strategies help keep code clean and organized while allowing for parallel development.

The course also covers merging branches, including merging and rebasing. Participants will learn the differences between these techniques and how to apply them to efficiently integrate changes from different branches and resolve conflicts.

Finally, pushing and pulling changes will be explained. Participants will learn how to push their local changes to remote repositories and how to push recent changes from remote repositories to their local development environment to ensure they are always working with the latest version of the code.
