Git Branches Tutorial

Branches are one of Git's most important concepts. And to master Git, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of how branches work. In this course, we'll look at the many actions you can perform around branches - from creating and deleting them all the way to publishing, renaming, and comparing them.

Note: This course focuses on using Git with the command line. You do NOT need Tower or any other GUI software to follow along.

(30:20) Comparing branches
Just a short note: if you use _three_ dots instead of two you'll see _all_ the differences in commits between branches, so not only commits that are in the second branch compared to the first but vice versa as well.
Excellent intro to branches, very concise.

Tip: if you go to a terminal or shell and type git help, it will show you git commands and what their functions are.
