Course Outline

Course Introduction and Overview provides an introduction to this course and the key concepts with the Git source control system.

Installation provides step-by-step instructions on how to setup Git for Windows and Mac OS X, how to use Git's help command.

After the Installation section, we walk through the entire Git basic workflow -- starting off in GitHub, working locally, and then publishing our changes back to GitHub.

Finally, I have some parting words and some bonus content!

Course Features

Presentations provide audio/video training of conceptual ideas. Since few like slide-ware presentations, slide-presentations are kept to a minimum.

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

Following each lecture or group of related lectures in the demo sections of the course are Command Listing lectures that serve as reference and reminder of the commands used in the previous lecture(s). Each Command Listing includes the exact listings used in the previous lectures and a reference guide for newly introduced commands. All commands used in this course are available through the Command Listing lectures.

Several attachments throughout the course provide supplemental information, illustrations, or other reference material.

Very good introductory course, recommended for hands-on practice and well-explained theory on Git and GitHub

This instructor is fantastic. Unfortunately, GitHub has updated some of its UI so it's a little trickier to follow.

A really thorough, thoughtful, and well-measured entry into the world of Git. I really enjoy the cadence and confidence in Taylor’s lessons and teaching.

This course has taught me so much about git that I have never been able to understand especially when getting git repositories sent to you and what to do with them. Thank you Jason for your time and expertise.

The course is a good introduction to Git & GitHub workflow. Also, it's a good refresher in regards to using the terminal if you're more accustom to GUI.

This course is perfect when you are starting in GIT (despite that it is to basic), the teacher is really clear and show all requiered details to make all the instructions works well.

This was a great course and OK as a refresher if you already know git and github but too out of date at this stage in my opinion. Sorry! The instructor is great and really clear. I know it is free but I am an advocate of best practices. Didn't get Text Mate 2 working and just opted for the vi editor. There are some updated lessons but makes it really confusing imo as I had already solved it myself. I have to be honest. I wouldn't recommend this course anymore.

It was good to learn Git from the beginning by creating Git folders, how Git system works, how commit and push be done via Git Bash. At the end I was also expecting to roll back functions but I think for that we can follow instructors' other Git courses.

Just starting to st up a git environment for multiple developers who have been supporting a Linux stem for over 10 years without the use of Git . we need new developers to join the team and figure we need to get all of the Source code across to GitHub
