GIT and GitHub Basics for Coders

Git Complete

This Free course is designed to be a comprehensive approach to Git, which means no prior knowledge or experience is required but students will emerge at the end with a very solid understanding and hands–on experience with Git and related source control concepts.

Course Outline

Quick Start by providing you the detials of Git architecture.

In Basic Commands, we walk through all the foundational commands needed to start a new project managed by Git (or enable Git for an existing project) all the way through making commits, including common file operations.

With a strong foundation in place, we explore ways to make Comparisons in Git, including all the different local states, between commits, and between local and remote repositories.

We give great attending to Branching and Merging in Git. We start off with the simple happy path and learn about Fast–Forward merges and how to control them. The we walk through common automatic merges. Finally, we cause trouble on purpose so we can step through resolving conflicting merges with our visual merge tool.

Screencasts provide a video of the instructor’s computer system with any actions, commands, or screens displayed and narrated.
