  1. Challenge

    Create a New Repository

    You have just joined Globomantics, a small advertising company that is looking to do some client work via software, which will need version control. Your previous company had admins that handled all of the Git work, but in this new company, that responsibility will fall to you.

  2. Challenge

    Check in Your Work

    Commits are the life blood of a version control repository, and branches allow you to isolate work. You'll learn to commit, and to work with branches effectively.

  3. Challenge

    Work with Git Stash

    Mistakes may happen on the primary branch. One useful tool to recover from such errors is the git stash command.
