How I learned Advanced GIT

About me

I am a Web Developer in the Los Angeles area. I specialize in Front End development using Wordpress as my base.

Why I wanted to learn Advanced GIT

I wanted to understand , learn and use GIT's full potential on my projects builds. I believe that this was a big innovation from transferring, making adjustments and deploying code or websites.

How I approached learning Advanced GIT

I discovered GIT back in the early 2016. I use GIT on it's basic level. ADD, COMMIT, PUSH and PULL in connection to my Local, staging and live environment. I'm currently taking a course online that tackles the advanced functionalities of GIT.

Challenges I faced

The commands are kinda complex and sometimes complicated. But there's nothing difficult if you keep practicing it.

Key takeaways

GIT is a very powerful tool. I recommend using this for handling file transfers between your Local, Staging and Live environment.

Tips and advice

If you like doing terminal commands and sick of those time consuming files over FTP. then this is the thing to learn!

Final thoughts and next steps

Currently I've been taking it slowly. I just learned that it works best if you're working as a group. or collaborating with other developers. making branches and commiting files are fun!
