Staging, Repositories and Commit | Git for Network Engineers - Class 2

Most network engineers never learned Git. Not because it is hard. But because nobody explained it the way a network engineer thinks.
This is Class 2 of the free course — Git for Network Engineers — on BridgeWhy.
In this class we go from zero to your first commit. No assumptions. No shortcuts. Just the why behind every concept before we touch a single command.
Here is what we cover in this class.
The 3 zone Git architecture. Working Directory, Staging Area and Repository. You will understand why Git was designed this way and why the staging area is not an extra step but a deliberate design decision. The same reason TCP/IP has separate layers. Modular design gives you control.
git config. Before Git records anything, it needs to know who is making the record. Your name and email go on every commit you ever make.
git init. What actually happens when you run this command. What the hidden .git folder is and why you should never delete it.
git add and git commit. The two step snapshot workflow. We also cover git status and why you should run it after every single step.
git log and git show. How to read your commit history and compare two versions of a file.
Git hashes. Every commit gets a unique fingerprint. If you have worked with file integrity checks in network security, you already know this concept. Same idea. Same property. Different use case.
Remote repositories and GitHub. Anjali joins the team and immediately exposes the problem with keeping everything on one laptop. We set up GitHub, connect a local repository and push the full commit history to the cloud.
This course is designed for network engineers. Every concept is explained through the lens of how you already think. No fluff. No jargon. Just clear explanations with real analogies from the world of networking.
The full course is free. All classes are available at bridgewhy.com.
If this class helped you, share it with one network engineer who still manages config files by renaming them.
