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....

Even though it's an introductory course and everyone must get deeper into those topics, this course is very complete and provides you all the necessary to work with git in a real IT enviroment.

It was a bit too easy. The vids/labs should have had a lot more real world hands-on examples of longer durations. Ideally we should have been teamed up too (with a bot would be fine) to simulate some of the issues faced in the real world.

It gives a lot of practical examples and you go practicing at the same pace that the instructor explains, at the end it gets quite complex and you need to re watch the videos several times to understand or search for other resources

This topic is good to know. I used two computers to follow along all the changes. The quizzes and assessments were not the most helpful. I did think it was cool when my work from one computer showed up perfectly on the other.

This course helped me understanding git workflow which is super useful for collaborating with other developers and even for creating a small project. The last part was a little tricky but I will tackle it with more practice

Challenging class. Best to take the class with a linux computer. Practice loading some code to Github before taking class. Instructor is nice. There is so much material in this class. Take as many notes as possible.

The video lectures are great. But the quiz are too short and straightforward. Maybe some more questions to remind us the details would be better.

Also, it would be helpful if the history tree were showed more often.

I like this course very much, the contents are really helpful for my future projects. One thing I wish it can improve on is from the explaining rebasing. a more detail explanation with animation tree would help.

The first part of the course was really very good. I felt that the second part of the course was a little fast paced and should have been spread over 3 weeks to also include the concepts in more details.

Great course and instructor! The peace was slow enough for a good fixation of the concepts. The only thing I missed was more practice in code collaboration on GitHub, like the last Lab of the course.

This was a really nice course. The instructor didn't bore. Also apart from the main idea i also gained insights to many other tools along the course too.It' feels nice to accomplish the course.

Excellent kick starter for Git and Github. Lab 3 hasn't been updated and in Lab 4 you would benefit from knowing Python. For all the rest, it is an excellent preparation course. Thank you!

This course offers all the basics and builds a strong foundation for further study. I just wish it had a little bit more detail and practical examples that I could follow in some parts.

The course was a great into to Git and Github. My one negative feedback is that the graded assessments (labs) were far too easy and didn't really cover everything that was discussed.

pretty quick and easy course, great introduction and i learned about github. I thought it was complex but now that i understand the basics, i understand how useful it is as a tool.

Very interesting course. As a suggestion you could tell something about the add-on GitHub Desktop that is really easy to use and sometimes more used than the command prompt...

Videos where very in-depth, really easy to understand. Qwiki tests seemed a bit un-related to the videos sometimes and only touched on a small amount of the material.

A very interesting course. I loved it from the beginning through the end. Sometimes I was not able to stop learning. Google is doing a very good job. Thanks Google

It will nice to have a diagram drawing out what the picture looks like in the process of rebase. Also, when using squash option, which commit is previous on.

Could be improved by relating on each command directly with GitHub GUI while doing... to better grasp what we doing with each command backendly/frontendly
