+# Git Workshop
+
+A hands-on, progressive git workshop with practical challenges ranging from basic to advanced concepts.
+
+## Workshop Structure
+
+Each module is a self-contained challenge that teaches specific git concepts:
+
+- **Module 01**: Git Basics (init, add, commit, status)
+- **Module 02**: Understanding the Staging Area
+- **Module 03**: Viewing History (log, diff)
+- **Module 04**: Branching Basics
+- **Module 05**: Merging
+- **Module 06**: Merge Conflicts
+- **Module 07**: Rebasing
+- **Module 08**: Interactive Rebase
+- **Module 09**: Cherry-pick
+- **Module 10**: Reset vs Revert
+- **Module 11**: Stash
+- **Module 12**: Working with Remotes
+
+## How to Use This Workshop
+
+1. Navigate to a module directory (e.g., `module-01-basics`)
+2. Read the `README.md` to understand the challenge
+3. Run `./setup.ps1` to create the challenge environment
+4. Complete the challenge using git commands
+5. Run `./verify.ps1` to check if you've solved it correctly
+6. Move to the next module
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Git installed and configured
+- PowerShell (Windows PowerShell 5.1+ or PowerShell Core 7+)
+- Basic command line knowledge
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Start with Module 01:
+
+```powershell
+cd module-01-basics
+.\setup.ps1
+```
+
+Follow the instructions in each module's README.md file.

+# Module 01: Git Basics
+
+## Learning Objectives
+
+- Understand what a git repository is
+- Learn the basic git workflow: modify → stage → commit
+- Use `git status` to check repository state
+- Use `git add` to stage changes
+- Use `git commit` to save changes
+
+## Challenge
+
+In this challenge, you'll learn the fundamental git workflow.
+
+### Setup
+
+Run the setup script to prepare the challenge:
+
+```powershell
+.\setup.ps1
+```
+
+This will create a directory called `challenge` with some files that need to be committed.
+
+### Your Task
+
+1. Navigate into the `challenge` directory
+2. Initialize a new git repository
+3. Check the status of your repository
+4. Stage the file `welcome.txt`
+5. Create a commit with the message "Add welcome file"
+6. Stage the file `instructions.txt`
+7. Create a commit with the message "Add instructions"
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+- **Repository**: A directory tracked by git, containing your project files and their history
+- **Working Directory**: The files you see and edit
+- **Staging Area (Index)**: A preparation area for your next commit
+- **Commit**: A snapshot of your staged changes
+
+### Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+git init                    # Initialize a new git repository
+git status                  # Show the working tree status
+git add <file>              # Stage a file for commit
+git commit -m "<message>"   # Create a commit with a message
+```
+
+### Verification
+
+Once you think you've completed the challenge, run:
+
+```powershell
+.\verify.ps1
+```
+
+This will check if you've successfully completed all the steps.

+Git Basics Instructions
+========================
+
+The basic git workflow follows these steps:
+
+1. Make changes to files in your working directory
+2. Stage the changes you want to commit (git add)
+3. Commit the staged changes with a message (git commit)
+
+This workflow allows you to carefully select which changes
+to include in each commit, making your history clean and meaningful.
