Git offers lots of different ways to undo, revert, recover and fix your mistakes. In this course, we’ll look at the bad things that can happen to you – and how Git can save your neck.
?? This course was created by Tobias Günther from Tower. Tower creates a powerful Git desktop GUI for Mac and Windows. You can download it here: https://www.git-tower.com
Note: This course focuses on using Git with the command line. You do not need Tower or any other GUI software to follow along.
