Learn Git and GitHub

In this course, we delve into the world of Git and GitHub, two instrumental tools in today's collaborative software development landscape. Git is a version control system, a tool that tracks modifications in source code. On the other hand, GitHub is a web-based hosting service that leverages Git's functionality to provide a centralized platform for multi-faceted collaboration and code-sharing.

Starting off with the basics, this course aims to elucidate the core aspects of Git and GitHub. You'll gain an in-depth understanding of not just the 'what' but also the 'why' behind using these platforms. Through this, we'll lay a comprehensive foundation covering the crucial concepts indispensable before you start contributing to Git projects.

We then proceed to explore how GitHub encourages widespread software development. We'll walk through how its version control capabilities allow for effective tracking of code changes and how it enables seamless collaboration even amongst teams dispersed globally.

Furthermore, the course covers facets of community building. GitHub is more than just a tool, it's a hub where developers contribute and learn. We delve into how GitHub fosters a thriving community of developers learning and sharing knowledge.

Lastly, we also touch upon critical features like code reviews, project management tools, and integrations. These aspects evidence how GitHub assists in maintaining high-quality code, managing project progress, setting project goals, and automating developmental aspects.

As a part of the course, you'll also learn about creating and managing repositories, branches, pull requests, and issues on GitHub. All geared towards enabling you to not just manage your projects efficiently but also meaningfully contribute to larger projects.

This course is for anyone eager to enhance their IT career, embarking on their software development journey, leading a project, commencing their DevOps path, or simply looking to upgrade skills for better job prospects. This comprehensive guide to Git and GitHub is all you'll need to kickstart your journey, building an online presence and contributing to open source projects.
