Season 3: Welcome to Engineering · Episode 4 of 8
Please Stop Emailing Code
You play: AI Engineering Intern
Included with Core programme and Certification prep
The situation
Two engineers have been emailing each other files called creator_service_final.py, creator_service_final_v2.py and creator_service_ACTUAL_final.py. Nobody knows which one is live. Maya opens the repository and says: 'this is the last time we do it this way'.
What you'll learn
- GH-900 basics and repositories: Git versus a hosting service, commits, branches, remotes, GitHub Flow, Markdown, and repository structure.
- Git versus GitHub, personal, organization and enterprise accounts, GitHub Desktop and GitHub Mobile, the GitHub Flow, and the key repository files (README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CODEOWNERS, SECURITY.md), template repositories, insights, stars and the dependency graph.

What you leave with
The emailed 'final' files are gone. Your change lives on a named branch with an honest commit message and a pull request into main; the accidentally-overwritten file was recovered without throwing away the legitimate work beside it.
