Now that you have git installed on your system and you also have a GitHub account, in this section we're going to go through the basics so we're going to walk through some of the most common commands and we're going to examine what a standard git workflow is and I'm going to be showing you the same type of workflow that I utilize in my own development projects.

In the last guide, we saw how we could create a local git repository. And in this lesson we're going to see how we can push up that repository to GitHub.

So far in this section, we've created a local repository we've created a remote and then we've connected the two. And in this guide, I want to review an entire workflow because this is going to be what you're going to be doing over and over again and so I think it is good practice.

In this guide, we're going to walk through the git directory also called the .git directory

In this lesson, we're going to discuss a very important topic when it comes to using get and version control in general and that is security and how you can hide or show certain secure elements inside of your repository.

So far on this course, we've walked through some of the basic concepts behind git and how you can perform the day to day tasks such as adding to a repository, committing changes, and then pushing them up.
