# Preparation

## Reading list

Watch all of these videos to understand some of the concepts we'll be going over in the session.

* [Git Branches Part 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sZ7RLDESew) by Nathan Kuik (ignore the exercise he mentions :) );
* [Git Branches Part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vgGeH3Dmwk) by Nathan Kuik;
* [Git reset, revert, and cherry-pick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf3vJYnxNu0), or in short: how to get rid of commits when you mess up, by Ida Naderian;
* [Git stash](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlgrs8MA0Jg);
* [How to solve merge conflicts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlHQpRCEMwg).

## Bring your questions!

Prepare some questions or confusions you have around git and GitHub and bring them to the session. Think about times you've been stuck, had conflicts, or maybe questions about how to best separate your code into small commits or even how to review a PR.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://program.hackyourfuture.dk/course-content/shared-modules/collaboration-via-github/week1/preparation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
