Powerful Version Control at Your Fingertips

Learning the fundamentals of git puts a powerful and very useful tool at your fingertips. Git is free, powerful, has excellent documentation, and is quickly becoming the de-facto standard for distributed source code version control.

In 2014, Git surpassed SVN as the most popular version control system according to the 2014 Eclipse community survey. Git is used in open source and enterprise applications around the world, and being able to effectively manage source code using git will make you a valuable asset to any organization using it.

Each chapter contains screencasts that you can follow-along with, and contains extra resources to put your new learned skills into practical use immediately.

Starting with an overview of version control systems, this course will take you through the core concepts of git and the basic commands you'll need to interact with git. By manipulating real repositories, you'll gain an understanding of not only "how" to interact with git, but also "why" it works the way it does.

Students completing the course will have the knowledge to create and manage git repositories in any language and platform.

commits and checkouts and version control of the files you are working on is not covered at all from what i can tell which is what i was really looking for.

I only had a working knowledge of github (yeah I didn't really know the difference between github and git). This course gave me many mind=blown experiences and finally allowed me to understand git.

The instructor is good. He is clear but this is too basic. I am a beginner with existing knowledge on how Git works. I needed examples of more commands (or what they do) and I needed to practice but these videos only really had the basics on how it works without much much depth. Then, to make matters worse, for all exercises, he refers to a third party website: https://try.github.io/ I feel like that it should have been written on the course description before I purchase that exercises are not from him. So i'm giving it 3.5 starts due to a lack of depth and a lack or exercises although the instructor is clear and engaging.

Concise and specific training - very useful for people using the command line - to be used in practice

Course is good and nicely paced. Only thing, some places required little more explanation and videos were just too short to understand. But overall a good course to start using GIT from day 1.
