+# :brain: Git Learning Notes
+
+### ✅ What I understand so far:
+
+#### 🌳 Branching
+
+- Creating and switching to a branch
+
+```
+git switch -c feature-name
+```
+
+- Checking branches
+
+```
+git branch
+```
+
+### 📦 Staging and Committing
+
+- Stage files
+
+```
+git add .
+```
+
+- Commmit with a message:
+
+```
+git commit -m "your message"
+```
+
+### 🚀 Pushing and Pulling
+
+- Push a branch `git push -u origin your-branch-name`
+
+- Pull a branch `git pull`
+
+-- 💯 Basic Concepts
+
+- A branch is a timeline of work
+- main (or master) is the default branch
+- Staging area = "What I'm preparing to commit"
+
+### 😵‍💫 Things I'm still confused about:
+
+--When to use 🔀 `checkout` vs `switch`
+
+- `switch` and `restore` are newer, but `checout` still works
+
+- some tutorials mix them up
+
+* ↖️ Merge vs Rebase
+
+- What's the practical difference?
+- When should I rebase instead of merge?
+
+🎯 HEAD Pointer
+
+- I get that it points to where I am ..but how does it move exactly
+
+* ⏪Undoing Mistakes
+
+- git revert vs git reset
+- Hard reset vs soft reset
+- Which one is safe?
+
+--🌐 Tracking Remote Branches
+
+- Why do I sometimes nee `-u` with `git push`?
+
+🧪 Commands I want to practice
+
+`git merge`
+`git rebase`
+`git reset --soft, --mixed, --hard`
+`git stash`
+`git log --oneline --graph --decorate`
+
+## ❓ Additional info
+
+- Why does Git sometimes say a branch is "ahead" or "behind"?
+- Whats a **detached HEAD** and what does that even mean?
