Git Smart

The first GameDev.tv course I took was on how to use Git and GitHub (Get Git Smart Course: Learn Git in Unity, SourceTree, GitHub). It gave me the foundations I needed to use Git, and later Plastic SCM (rebranded to Unity Version Control) as well. This knowledge has ended up being invaluable, and I now use it on a daily basis.

Through this course and additional learning I can now easily:

• Commit

• Push / Pull / Fetch

• Branch

• Tag

• Rebase

• Interactively Rebase

• Create pull requests

• Rewrite history when needed and edit my branches to look pretty

  • Edit

  • Merge

  • Cherry Pick

  • Fixup

  • Squash

  • etc.

I primarily use Fork, but have also used Sourcetree, Unity Version Control, and the command line. I use GitHub consistently for personal projects, browsing, and contributing to FOSS projects.

I've also learned various workflows such as Git Flow and GitHub Flow.
