# 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);

## 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
