Description

Learning how to use Git is truly a necessity if you want to become a successful software developer. We made this course so that you can focus on what matters and gain the basic practical experience and knowledge to use Git and GitHub effectively. We understand the importance of hands on experience when it comes to learning Git, and this course was created with that in mind.

From the first video, we get your hands dirty in the command line whilst dropping the necessary information you need to know at the appropriate times. Utilizing this teaching style avoids overloading you while on your journey to mastering Git, ensuring that you get practical experience of the newly acquired skills immediately before learning something new.

We first start this course off by setting up some necessary Git configuration before immediately learning about a useful command to help you alongside your journey of mastering Git. We then dive immediately into creating a git repository and become familiar with the following:
