+{\bf Git Introduction Course}
+
+Working with branches in Git practical.
+\end{center}
+\bigskip
+
+\subsubsection*{Inspect the commit graph.}
+We'll work from the repository you created in the previous practical.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item \emph{Question:} What is you current branch and what is the hash of
+    the commit it points to?
+  \item \emph{Question:} What does the commit graph of you repository look
+    like?
+\end{itemize}
+\emph{Hint:} Use \texttt{git log} with the appropriate arguments.
+
+\bigskip
+
+\subsubsection*{Implement a feature in a new branch.}
+Let's do some real work (e.g., add some documentation to the project).
+
+\bigskip
+
+Start by creating a branch for your work (give it a descriptive name) and
+switch to it.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item \emph{Question:} What branches are there now and what are the commits
+    they point to?
+\end{itemize}
+
+\bigskip
+
+Implement your feature (e.g. write documentation) and commit your changes.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item \emph{Question:} What does the commit graph of you repository look
+    like now?
+\end{itemize}
+
+\bigskip
+
+\subsubsection*{Merge your feature.}
+Of course we want this nice feature in our \texttt{master} branch.
+
+\bigskip
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item \emph{Question:} If you want to merge branch \texttt{B} into branch
+    \texttt{A}, what should be your current branch?
+\end{itemize}
+
+\bigskip
+
+Merge your feature branch into \texttt{master}.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item \emph{Question:} What does the commit graph of you repository look
+    like now?
+\end{itemize}
+
+\bigskip
+
+Since you merged it, you can now delete the feature branch.
