I made a slight mistake in the video. The -f option on git clean is for "force" and not for "files". The documentation can be found here for more info: git-scm.com/docs/git-clean

I am git newbie. This video saved my files that I thought I lost in a series of unintended commits. About 2 weeks worth of work! Thanks so much Corey and keep up the good work.
This is the second video I've watch by Corey. I've been in software development for over 20 years and he explains Git better than anybody I've come across. Keep up the great work you're doing. :)
Perfect video, thanks! Keep it going, guys like you make this world a better place. 1 advice though: use head/head~/head~n/head^ syntax instead of sha-1 codes so that you can focus more on the intention and less on the implementation details of git. For example: 10:40 - instead of using git log to find sha-1 codes, just use git reset --soft head~ (I want to reset to the second to latest commit) 20:00 - instead of using git log to find sha-1 codes, just use git diff head~ head (i.e. I want a diff between second to latest commit and latest commit on the branch I'm on) additional tips: - checkout head^ which differs from head~ only when you have merge commits. (you can also use head^n) - use head~n to go back n commits into the past. - head is a synonym for the sha-1 of the latest commit.
After deciding to ditch the Git GUI in favor of command-line, I came across your videos. You have done a fantastic job compiling the essentials and demoing them! It feels like I finally understand what ACTUALLY is going on when I use these commands. Thank you!!
Wow. Watched all the videos on GIT. The flow and structure of the lecture(s) in all the videos is so smooth, that I Never had to rewind and ponder .." what did he say"... . More than perfect !
Very very helpful tutorial for some of the more advance/obscure features related to rollback and reset. While this tutorial is long and someone in need of quick answer may run out of patience, I still recommend a good listen. Its better to know details rather than following commands without knowing basics. Thanks Corey for quality tutorial.
The BEST video on advanced git out there. I'm amazed by the use cases Corey has shown. I can't thank you enough for the efforts you put. I'll definitely do my part to support your channel.
You are awesome. your teaching skills are extraordinary In 21 minutes you just cleared everything that I need to understand to get rid of all those confusions that often happened to me. Thank you so much
I've never learned something about version control before but the way how you teach programming stuff is just amazing. While watching the first two videos about git I was myself asking questions like "ok but what if I accidently write a wrong comment" but you go through all those traps and show the appropriate solutions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I gotta be honest. I am new to all of this and I was a liitle bit intimidated by Git commands but damn... These videos are perfect. Thank you very very much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. A lot of guides and videos focus on the 'happy' path of using git in development, but tend to leave aside the ugly bits that creep into our workflow more often than we'd expect.
I love the way you teach. It's very easy to understand and apply everything, I do recommend your lectures to everyone cause you are super cool. Thanks man
very good tutorial as a suggestion: if you use "git log --oneline --graph --all" is better than "git log" for new users. you can also define new alias at first and use it instead of "git log": how to create an alias command: alias ThisOne="git log --oneline --graph --all" is better than "git log" -- and now you can you "ThisOne" instead of "git log" Best Regards
You are amazing.. I have seen tons of videos.. But after watching this, i was like.. This is how you explain.. Thank you for taking out time to make this amazing video 😍
On 2:13 you didn't write a bunch of gibberish. You wrote exactly the same line 4 times except for the line number 4. You exactly wrote sdfasdfasdf 4 times. Your talent
Perfect Git Tutorial, BTW while studying the tutorial, trying "git reflog" i accidently typed reset commit id instead of checkout and then the backup branch hasle and guess what it gave me the same thing! Thanks a lot really great tutorial
For reset --hard, you don't need to use checkout and then create a backup to restore. YOu can simply use reset --hard . Say A->B->C, after doing git reset --hard B, you can do git reset --hard C to go back to C. The only issue with --hard is that all uncommitted changes will be lost.
@Corey Schafer I have a question , around 3:00 , after we add some code on master branch, when I execute git checkout otherbranch, those changes on master branch are also move to otherbranch, it differs from what I see from the video, what did I miss?
To get an overview over the complete git history type "git log --all --decorate --oneline --all". You can also assign an alias, so you don't have to write the previous command out everytime. alias graph="git log -all --decorate --oneline --all". Then you can just type graph

You are a God send to humanity. Thank you :)
Explanation Very Clear.!! Please videos on Merge and Rebase. Thank you so much! I learn a lot from the videso.
thought it while watching, but got answer while came to make some comments on your video
Did you have to use -d or could you have taken it out
1:42 - Revert back the code that was written
3:36 - Updating the commit message alone (amend)
5:50 - Accidentally left off a file that we wanted to commit
7:38 - Move the commits to a different branch (cherry-pick)
10:26 - 3 different types of reset
13:38 - Getting rid of untracked files (git clean)
15:01 - Retrieve critical files that were lost, and you want them back (git reflog)
18:10 - Backing out changes, when other people have already checked out your changes (git revert)
Ajeeth Kumar Thanks for this Ajeeth👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks dude. You saved my time🙏🏻
thanks!
Thanks a lot. Your comments helped clearly understand what Corey was trying to say.
Am DevOps. Best tutorial for python and git so far. Even paid tutorials are not able to reach this level of profession . Keep it up :)
I am git newbie. This video saved my files that I thought I lost in a series of unintended commits. About 2 weeks worth of work! Thanks so much Corey and keep up the good work.
One of the best git (or any other) tech videos i've seen in a long long time! Great job!!
This.
Absolutely. No bullshit ego stuff up front or at end. Just right to the point with clear simple examples and explanations. Bravo
This is the second video I've watch by Corey. I've been in software development for over 20 years and he explains Git better than anybody I've come across. Keep up the great work you're doing. :)
I can see simplicity and at the same time your professional way of explaining it. Thank you for investing your time to save our's

Brilliant structure and sequencing and crystal clear examples. A lot of key functionality covered effectively and concisely.

Best git tutorial ever made on planet earth.
Despite the quick 'clears', which throw off and freak out beginners, this is the clearest explanation of fixing mistakes and changing history. Thanks.
This is the best video tutorial for Git. Neat, straight to the point, stunningly clear. High quality teaching.

Thank you so much
This is one of the best videos for someone who manages git repository. Loved it

While watching the first two videos about git I was myself asking questions like "ok but what if I accidently write a wrong comment" but you go through all those traps and show the appropriate solutions.

I paid 30€ for a git course of multiple hours. Well, I just discovered this video and it's quite better for 0€. Thank you
Presenter has good knowledge on the topic & great presentation skills.... That's what makes this video great !!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge....
Exactly what a developer needs rather than bombing with extra useless stuff on git. Good one.....Thanks...
I gotta be honest. I am new to all of this and I was a liitle bit intimidated by Git commands but damn... These videos are perfect. Thank you very very much!
One of the most helpful video on git that I came across, great job :)
Not commenting anything special, cause Only God knows how this tutorial helped me . Thanks a ton brother !
Thank you so much for this tutorial. A lot of guides and videos focus on the 'happy' path of using git in development, but tend to leave aside the ugly bits that creep into our workflow more often than we'd expect.

Best video on git ever!! intuitive and covers most of the practical use cases!
That's what 'advance' git tutorial i've been looking for... superb thank you

Thanks a ton for your efforts in making this. All your videos are amazingly well explained in simplistic way.
Complete undoing in just 21 minutes...
Great video...
One of the best git videos I have seen. Thank you Corey!
very good tutorial
as a suggestion: if you use "git log --oneline --graph --all" is better than "git log" for new users.
you can also define new alias at first and use it instead of "git log":
how to create an alias command:
alias ThisOne="git log --oneline --graph --all" is better than "git log"
--
and now you can you "ThisOne" instead of "git log"
Best Regards
Lots of useful information in one place, I really enjoyed it :) Thanx Corey
