(0:04) Recap Quick Start
(1:20) git restore [filename] (undo changes)
(2:18) git restore --staged [filename] (undo staged files)
(3:09) git log (show log with details)
(3:45) git log --oneline (shows simplified log)
(4:35) git commit -v --amend (change last commit's message)
(6:35) git branch [newBranchName] (creates new branch)
(7:50) git branch --list (lists all branches)
(8:05) git checkout [branchName] (switch to this branch)
(8:10) working with more than one branch
(12:25) git branch -m [oldBranchName] [newBranchName] (renames branch)
(14:10) git checkout -b [newBranchName] (creates new branch and switches to it)
(15:00) git branch -D [branchName] (deletes branch permanently)
(16:00) git merge [branchName] (merges named branch into branch you are on)
(17:10) Understanding and handling git merge conflicts
