This is a course that will teach you everything you need to know about working with Git and GitHub. And you can use Windows, Mac, or Linux — I'll show you how to install Git on all three major operating systems.
By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence you need to work in a team.
I've worked with several teams over the years and everything you'll learn in this course is what I tend to use almost every day and certainly every week.
We'll work through lots of real-life examples together and get you hands-on experience with all of this by creating your own repositories, forking my repo, and even safely opening a pull request on my work for some seriously hands on experience.
Project
Throughout this course you'll be working on a GitHub project. Together, we'll learn a lot of new concepts and tools. You'll update your project with:
- A new GitHub repository
- New commits
- Creating a README file
- New Git branches
- Merging a branch
- Adding a GitHub issue
- A new pull request
- Tagging your commits
I'll be with you all the way, and I've provided an example GitHub repository to work from so you can test your new skills in a worry-free environment. So, feel free to experiment with everything you learn in this course against my demo repository.
