 Great job! If you comfortably navigated these exercises, then you have the necessary basics for working with git and GitHub. These will get you most of the way through the course, and indeed, through your programming career. The most important topics that we haven't yet discussed are *merging* and *branching*, which are especially relevant when collaborating with others. We may come back to these in a future Discussion activity. 
 
 Another topic that you might find useful to explore on your own is the `.gitignore` file. This file specifies files which should be *excluded* from tracking by git. This is handy if there are certain "junk" files that you would prefer not to see in GitHub Desktop.
