Introduction to Git

Course Overview

Git is the de-facto standard source control system for the tech industry and is one of the most flexible software tools to be found. Any developer or devops person probably needs at least a basic understanding of Git to get going and this course is intended for that purpose.

This course covers all of the fundamental operations an experienced coder would use on a daily basis. The course begins with an introduction to Git and a comparison of Git to other version control systems. It then transitions into the nuts-and-bolts of working with Git, including everything from setting up a repository to advanced topics like branching and merging.

Because the industry sometimes misuses git this course is also focuses on clearing up muddled understanding of git: the staging area, merge vs rebase, history management, breanching and more.
