Learning Git will help you gain an insight on using different features of Git to increase efficiency in a collaborative work environment.
Start off by installing Git and learn about different version control approaches. Walk through different types of workflows available and select the one best suited for you. Initialize your first repository to start working on your project. Develop an authentication system for your repositories with the help of SSH keys. Combine your work with that of several other contributors with the help of branching and forking. Using pull requests put your work in sync with that of other patrons. Delve through various concepts like rebasing and rewriting commands to manage your commit history. Furthermore, learn to tag different versions of code to identify them easily. Finally, analyze the changes in the code and trace them to its early stage.

For someone starting out with Git this course presents the core information quickly without too much fuss. The scenarios are realistic and to the point. Learning the more advanced features was also easy using Git on a team, you are going to run into these situations right away and it’s good to know how to solve them. With some online screencasts you have to do a lot of tangential work to follow along, but not with this course. I found it easy to try out the concepts alongside the presenter as he was speaking.

I have been using git for a couple years now, but in many cases I use commands that I don’t fully understand. I took this course as a git refresher because I had to understand some of the more advanced git features. This course has enough of the basics to onboard a developer who is new to git, but it doesn’t dwell on the basics to the point that half the course is worthless for more seasoned users of git, like me. Personally, I got tremendous value out of the early sections in this course, because it helped me understand the theory behind some of git’s features that I was a bit hazy on. As the course progressed I learned a lot of new git commands and arguments. Most importantly, though, the instructor does a great job explaining in detail what git is really doing when a particular command is executed. Also, everything is always explained while solving a practical problem, so the ‘Why would I want to do this?’ factor is always present. Great course!

The course is definitely geared towards beginners starting with the basics of establishing a Git repository. The screen shots form GitHub are out of date so if you try to follow along with a current instance of a repo on GitHub the links are organized or labeled differently and hard to find in some cases.

Outstanding overview.
