Introduction to Git
Workshop

Anyone who works on code, infrastructure definitions or configuration in a team needs version control. Whether application code, Terraform modules, Helm charts or Ansible playbooks: the Git commands are the same. But which commands do I actually need? What happens during a merge conflict? And how does collaboration work through GitHub or a self-hosted platform? On the first day you install Git, set up your working environment and walk through the complete workflow: working directory, staging area, repository. You create commits, track changes with git log and git diff, and learn how to perform
