Complete Git Guide: Understand and Master Git and GitHub - Creating a New Repository

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a new Git repository named 'rebasing', making commits on a feature branch, and returning to the master branch. It explains the concept of rebasing, highlighting the differences between rebasing and merging, particularly the absence of a merge commit in rebasing, resulting in a linear history. The tutorial also covers creating and cloning a repository on GitHub, and concludes with preparing for further steps in the next lecture.
