## Agenda

### Session #1 (Nov 10, 2026): Branching

- Why branch?
- How to branch and know which branch you’re on by exploring different tools (Github Desktop, RStudio, Git Bash) to see what options you have

```{r embed-xaringan-branch, echo=FALSE}
xaringanExtra::embed_xaringan(url = "slides/branching.html", ratio = "16:9")

### Session #2 (TBD): Pull Requests & Merges

- Why and how to create a pull request (PR)
- How to merge branches

### Session #3 (TBD): Undoing

- How to undo at each stage of the process:
  1. Unstaged
  2. Staged
  3. Committed but not yet pushed to Github
  4. Committed and already pushed Github

- Restore a single-file from an old commit (but not the whole repo!)
