About the Course

In this course, you’ll learn how to keep track of the different versions of your code and configuration files using a popular version control system (VCS) called Git. We'll also go through how to set up an account with a service called GitHub so that you can create your very own remote repositories to store your code and configuration. 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 and merging. 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. By the end of this course, you'll be able to store your code's history in Git and collaborate with others in GitHub, where you’ll also start creating your own portfolio! In order to follow along and complete the assessments, you’ll need a computer where you can install Git or ask your administrator to install it for you....

Awesome !!! I tried to learn git many times but things always slips over my head but I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this course and voila, I have learned so much in this course. Thanks a lot.

Awesome and well balanced course for working professionals. Clear explanations and coverage of typical use case scenarios. The labs were manageable and did not require a lot of time to complete them.

I enjoyed the animations. They were helpful with understanding and memorization. Some of them really stuck in my mind although if you ask me, they weren't enough.

I also laugh a lot while learning, when the instructor tries to be funny but it's not!! LOL...

One downside of the Google course is the instructors are reading from a written script instead of teaching or trying to transfer the knowledge. Hence materials are dense. In a 5-minute video there is a lot to learn and you must keep paying attention word by word, you should pause regularly and think what it means what you just heard!

Overall, it was fun though I wished for more practice. The course completely lacks in the aspect of fulfilling practices. I would be happier if I didn't see any Qwiklabs Assessments. They were more like a complete waste of time, too easy to evaluate the acknowledge and not containing any useful key points. They were the most downside part of the course.

The more the course is good on local git its bad on remote gits. I didnt find remote chapetrs much useful. Needed to double the matrial there.

I had seen git before, but I am still at the very beginning. If I hadn't seen it before, the course would be much harder. I guess the course should have introduced some more basics concepts/details. Many time it was not clear what the presenter was trying to solve. Maybe a problem/solution approach would improve the course.

You'll learn about git and git hub but I feel it shouldn't take 4 "weeks" to learn the material. A lot of time in the videos is wasted. Google Python animation, reiterating what we've learned, congratulating us for watching... We only need a few minutes of video and the rest would be better as an interactive web experience.

1. course doesn't have much examples, especially in the introduction part, had to depend on other courses to understand better.

2. too much video time with talking, not much graphics to visualize whats happening in the repos

Hello Mr/Mrs

My linux system is blocked, because I made a test of Git/Github by connecting to one of your remote machines and I forgot to disconnect. Currently the machine is in emergency mode, how can I fix this situation?

As learners without backgroud in this field, we need explinations with exemples in parallel. Explinations without exmples are less interesting for a technical discipline like " Introduction to Git and Github.

There were some basic items that I think the course should have covered. Ex. what is HEAD? I expect this to be covered here even though I understand some items are left to the student.

covered a lot of ground. Could have been clearer if it made use of illustrations to show where and the pushes and pulls were going.
