Git has become the most widely used system for version control and sharing code. If you want to help build open-source software, or if you want to work on a professional team, understanding Git is a must.

In our new Coffee Break Course, Git Basics: The Three Trees, you'll learn about the three trees: the HEAD, the index, and the working directory. 

Envato Tuts+ instructor Ed Wasserman will explain the role of each and how they interact as you update and commit code. And the whole thing will be illustrated with helpful animations.

Watch the introduction below to find out more.
