What you'll learn

• The core vocabulary: repository, commit, push, pull, branch, and revert
• Three ways to work with GitHub compared: an AI coding assistant, the website, and GitHub Desktop
• The daily rhythm for building with AI: checkpoint, one focused change, test, commit, push
• Recovering when things break: undo, reset, and why revert is the safe choice for pushed commits
