yes, good pace, direct and to the point ... i now have the basics down and will use github (GITLAB mostly cos is private and free, thanks for the tip) ... i would recommend this course to anyone who doesn't know github, and needs to. The command line/terminal stuff is also a very nice feature i'd not even considered. Thanks Kalob :)

- git lg does not work on my Mac; - I had to use Google because login by name and password is disabled in 2021. I had to look up how to use SSH authorization. That is, the course does not even cover all the basic questions and is clearly already outdated. Unfortunately, money wasted.

Please allow screen shots or some other way to copy the syntax for the commands that are needed so we can more quickly take notes. Right now, it blocks that out (ex. snippet won't work), and I have to manually type everything into my notes, so the class is taking me longer. If screen shots isn't allowed, then please find another way to have comments in text form, that your students can copy & paste into their notes.

Course is awesome as it's free. I learned the basics but still it would be nice to have SSH Key demonstration.

This is a course that actually uses Mac interface which are sometimes hard to find in the beginner section of learning and hence I am way more happy with the course and also the instructor teaches in a very appropriate manner and makes us understand every bit of git and GitHub, demonstrates everything graphically and in Commandline tools so that way it really helps

Easy-going guy with a nearly melodic voice that softens the learning process in such a profitable way. So good, so far!
