It would help to have a list of all the tools I will need at the start of the each chapter or even all of them for the first videos.

Very good so far as a crash course in git. I had a GitHub account already but discovered that I needed to install Git for Windows, which I was able to do while Kalob was explaining setup. Looking forward to working through command line -- I've mostly cloned, created branches, etc. using the Visual Studio interface.

So far, so good. Clear instructions and good pacing. It's not a major issue, but I just hope there's a Windows OS command line version/subtitles/translations for absolute, absolute beginner such as myself.

quick paced review of Git and GitHub. Nice because i wanted to get a quick rundown without a whole lot of extra fluff.

I wanted to view this course as a Project Manager (with a fairly technical wide ranging IT background) whilst managing a team of developers to understand a bit more about how a repo works. Brilliant intro, for my not so technical developer knowledge.

This course was a wonderful overview. I apologize for not giving 5 stars. 4.85 is a better representation, the 4.5, based on how they gather this information, shame of their scoring system. Thank you so much! BTW for me, this was 2.5 hours. not 30 mins. To truly own the content, I watched sessions multiple times. Thank you again for the amazing introduction.

I have learned a lot about Git and Github I'm excited to continue learning and be able to use Git to collaborate on code projects. Thank you for this very complete course!

I've been a software developer for many years. I've used several different version control system, just never used git. For my situation this course could have been a 10 minute crash course in how to use clone, add, commit, push, and checkout. I am a little confused by the git term 'origin'. Maybe a 5 second google search would tell me what it means, but I was kind of hoping this course would have done that; maybe even give a little background on why that term is used and what exactly it represents.

Great explanation for anyone new to using GitHub. Is there any cheat sheet on the commands to keep them handy?

Only some commands are explained I was expecting more explaination on branch and some interview related questions. This are helpful for a beginner to work with git.
