Never Lose Your Vibe Coding Progress Again with Git

Learn how to save your vibe coding progress with Git so you do not lose your work. You’ll practice eight practical Git commands, create your first commit, use a feature branch, merge changes back into main, and add Git rules for your AI coding assistant.

• Vibe coders who skipped CS class
• Claude Code users who want to save tokens
• Cursor users who want to save their progress

You will build a Git-tracked coding project that can preserve progress through commits, feature branches, and merges. You will also create reusable Git rules for your AI coding assistant.

• A project initialized as a Git repository
• A first commit saved to the main branch
• A feature branch called feature-1
• A merge from the feature branch back into main
• A reusable AI context prompt for Git workflow rules

• A computer with terminal or command line access
• A text editor or IDE, such as Cursor
• Git installed on your computer
• A basic HTML file or the downloadable example file

• After you have the local Git workflow working, you can save your code to GitHub, create a new repository, and push branches to the cloud with git push origin [branch name].
