Working in a large, shared codebase is complex. How do you make progress when everyone is working at the same time? Git branches help you organize your daily tasks, scale concurrent work in your codebase, and manage what you're doing on your own machine. In this course, Git Branching and Merging, you'll gain the ability to incorporate branches into your daily workflow. First, you'll learn the basics of branches. Next, you'll discover how to diff and merge branches, along with how to avoid and deal with code conflicts when they come up. Then, you'll see how to use remotes and pull requests to collaborate as a team. Finally, you'll learn when to use rebase and cherry-pick. When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of Git branching needed to boost your individual productivity, work as a team, and lower your stress level.
