one of the best courses for beginners having great basic knowledge and hands-on lab by IBM are amazing special thanks to Coursera for providing financial aid for this course

There should be more information on the final project. I was a bit confused if it was talking about writing in CLI or Github.
KT
Useful start to GitHub. Practice modules are the most helpful, but videos are paced too quickly, do not give time to take notes.

This course does a great job of teaching Git fundamentals. Though I already knew most of it, it would have been helpful to have this course earlier in my career!

A very complete and dynamic course that develops learning how to operate GitHub, its history and the benefits for the community.

Good practice for the basic commands. One or two bits are implied like checking out to the proper branch before committing.

Useful and easy to learn if you pay attention. I also love step by step approach and practice project first, doing it on my own later for grade was much easier.
