This course was fairly good for people who wants to understand the basics of git and github. Understanding how the git workflow, diff command, forking and pull request works was charming.

This course allowed me to gain insight, into a part of the programming profession that I was not even aware of.I highly recommend completing this course and even revisiting it periodically.

This course helped me get comfortable working with command line basics, combined with Git/Github. There were few errors in labs or test but nothing that really detracted from the overall quality.
