Version Control for Business Success: Master Git & GitHub

Description

Learn the fundamentals of Version Control through this step-by-step tutorial that will teach you the ins-and-outs of Git. This course is your complete guide to how Git and GitHub work in a professional team environment.

Git is a free and open source Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Throughout this course, you'll learn about Git's core functionality so you can understand how and why it’s used in organizations. We’ll look into both basic and more advanced features, like branches, pull request, tagging and merging. We cover Git commands including: git init, git add, git commit, git status, git log, git branch, and git merge. We end with a detailed look at branching, merging, and resolving conflicts.

We'll demonstrate how having a working knowledge of a VCS like Git can be a lifesaver in emergency situations or when debugging. And then we'll explore how to use a VCS to work with others through remote repositories, like the ones provided by GitHub.

Then, we'll explore why GitHub is such a powerful and popular tool among software developers, project managers, team members, designers, and students for its flexibility and control. You’ll see how to manage a software project, and how to utilize Git and GitHub to work effectively as a team. We start by exploring Github (and similar tools) that host remote repositories and discussing the benefits they provide. We create our own Github repositories and sync up changes between our remote and local repositories using the git push, git pull, and git fetch commands. We then focus on commonly used collaboration workflows that students may encounter in the real world: feature branching, pull requests, forking & cloning, and more! We discuss contributing to open source projects and configuring Github repositories for collaboration. We also spend some time learning about useful Github features including Github Gists and Github Pages for free static hosting.

Finally you’ll examine how to plan, follow and execute a project with Git and GitHub, and then apply those concepts to real-world situations.

What You Will Learn

The course is designed to teach you:

· How to Install and configure Git.

· Create and Manage Git repository and Git workflows.

· Track changes, work with branches, Pull Request and tags.

· Create, Configure and Manage GitHub Repository.

· Navigate, Use, and Contribute to open source projects though GitHub.

· Working with teams on GitHub Projects.

· And more …

Once you have completed the course, you should be able to immediately start using Git and GitHub to manage your own code.
