4 Git Jargon

Before diving into using Git and GitHub, we need to become immersed in its jargon. Fortunately, Alice Bartlett, a Principal Engineer at the Financial Times, made an excellent set of slides on Git and GitHub and the associated jargon. She covers:

  • repository, or “repo”
  • commit
  • hash
  • checkout
  • branch
  • merge
  • remote
  • clone
  • push
  • pull

In the live workshop, we will go through Alice’s slides together. If you are going through this training asynchronously, you can flip through Alice’s slides here:
