This lesson will provide step by step instructions to open the free Github account that will be used later for uploading your repository.

This lesson shows how to download and install Gitkraken to your computer. It will also setup your user profile for the first time.

Step by step instruction on downloading the sample files for this course from our website. Course materials can be downloaded from http://www.visualvideotutorials.com/training/Gitkraken.zip

As we embark on this journey together, it’s important to make sure that we have everything setup properly.

The first step in creating a "storage room" for all of our backup (commits). The storage room is called repository. This is an efficient way to manage and organize all the backups.

Not all files need to be tracked in version control. For example, you don't always need to keep track of a log file or image files. Git Ignore is a method to exclude those. This lesson will cover step by step instruction on generating ignore feature.

The concept of staging and commit is explained here. Before we jump in to creating our first commit, it's important to understand what each phase means.

Hands-on instruction in creating your first stage and commit. And how it will be stored and displayed in commit graph.

This lesson will show how we recover our files out of the latest commit or an older commit. We are not limited to the last commit only, but can recover from any commit in the repository.

In a typical project you will have many commits. Without the search function, you will spend a lot of time to read the commit message one by one. The search commit is a great way to quickly look for the commit you want. Searching by keywords or files are covered in here.

Let's review what we learned so far.

This lesson will cover the concept of branching that enable team collaboration environment. Plus, branching will make your commit/backup more organized.

Hands on instruction on creating your first branch and merge.

When merging the branch, you have the option to rebase. This lesson is explaining the concept of rebase.

In this lesson, the merging with and without rebase is performed. At the end of the lesson, we will be able to see the difference on both in the commit graph.

This lesson will show how Gitkraken identify conflict.

This lesson will explain the benefit of stashing. With stashing you are not forced to do a commit on un-finished files due to quick fix request. This is ensuring that all your commits are clean.

Let's review our understanding on this Branching feature in Git

A step by step instruction on how to connect your Gitkraken local repository to Github.

One benefit of Git is you can easily upload your repository to cloud backup, which is Github. This lesson will show you how to do your first push (upload) to Github.

This lesson will show you how to download your Github repository to your local library.

Wrap up Quiz

When merging 2 branches, we need to choose the target branch to gain the correct perspective of incoming merge. If we choose the merging branch, Git will assume that we try to do hotfix and try to stash. In this video I will show the difference questions when it merges.

In January 2017, Gitkraken release V 2.0. This video will show you how to install the update and highlight some of the new and improved features in the new major revision.

In September 2017, Gitkraken released V3. This video will show you how to download and install the upgrade. There is one update in Fuzzy Search that behaves differently with older version, and it's covered in this video.

One of the major buzz on version 3 is on implementation of LFS by Gitkraken. LFS in itself has been around with Git but now with it's available in Gitkraken it makes it easy to utilize. This video starts with the basic concept of LFS and progress to installation and utilization of the feature.
