Crash Course: Intro to Git

Git is so common in the programming world that even if you are a beginner you have probably already used it. However, Git is also very complex and takes a while to master. This course is intended as a deep dive into the fundamentals of Git, so you can continue to use it without fear of accidentally committing your entire desktop to a remote repository.
