1. Initialize a new git repo in a folder

  2. Create a file called diary.txt. Inside the file, add the following:

    I love my boss

  3. Add and commit the changes on the master branch

  4. Create a new branch called the-truth. Switch to it.

  5. In the diary.txt file, erase the contents and instead replace it with:

    I HATE MY BOSS
I HATE MY BOSS
I HATE MY BOSS
I HATE MY BOSS
I HATE MY BOSS

  6. Save the file

  7. OH NO! Your boss is walking towards you! Quick, switch over to the master branch!

  8. WHATTT? The diary.txt file still contains our confession? Quick, stash the changes before your boss sees!!

  9. Your diary.txt file should now only contain "I love my boss"

  10. As your boss walks by, add more lies to the diary.txt file:

    I love my boss
I love my boss
I love my boss

  11. Add and commit your changes on the master branch.

  12. Now that your boss has left, it's safe to get back to the truth! Switch over to the the-truth branch.

  13. Retrieve the earlier changes that you stashed (I HATE MY BOSS x 5)

  14. Add and commit the changes on the the-truth branch
