TOP REVIEWS FROM USING GIT FOR DISTRIBUTED DEVELOPMENT
A big thanks to Coursera and the Linux Foundation for this excellent course.
A good, gentle yet technical, introduction to Git. It would have been better for me if it had assumed no familiarity with version control systems, but even so I managed well.
I have learned a lot of things related to git and its architecture
Excellent course. Good exercises that make the process simple and not tedious
