  2. Cloning Production Code

    Clone an enterprise repository using git and learn how it is structured.

  3. Production-Quality Coding with AI

    Learn core coding concepts and use AI responsibly to make a UI fix that holds up in code review.

  4. Pull Requests & Merging

    Commit and push your work, open a pull request, check pipeline tests, and walk through code review and merging.

  5. Making Functional Updates

    Change how the app works, write unit and end-to-end tests, and open a second pull request.
