The lectures move very quickly and don't really teach you how to use any git commands. the hands on labs were very helpful but the only real learning was to be had by the optional assignments. If you were to skip those, you wouldn't have retained the knowledge to complete the final assignment.

Overall a good course - with gaps in explaining some of the concepts properly. In the exercise, you need to work with pull requests, which need to be explained better. And the task can be misleading ... should the PR be for the forked project or for the original source repo??? But it is still well spent time, with good hands-on elements.

Hello, my name is Douglas Bermudez I am living in Dallas Texas. Currently, I have been working at NEC Corporation of America as desktop support analyst level II since 2018. I have taking this as part of the Full Stack Developer certification to get a job as Full Stack Developer. Git and Github certification has provided me the skills and knowledge to work projects locally or from cloud without affect the main project, this tool recorded any change made on the program code as version control helping the project manager and developer avoid any mistake before deploying the app. I loved this course because I have the knowledge and skills work projects locally or from the cloud.

this course disappoints in every possible way. GitHub is user-friendly and if I don't learn how to create a pull request here, I am sure I will figure it out. I took this course to have a better grasp on the different commands used in git but didn't learn much. The course material doesn't provide sufficient information on push command which is the tricky part of working with Git and GitHub. Generally, I take a course expecting to learn most of the information on the topic in a well organized syllabus. of course if the course cannot satisfy my expectation what is the difference from searching the topic in youtube.

Another poorly designed course by IBM. This one is not nearly as bad as the HTML, CSS, Javascript class, but the disconnect between what the class material is and what the final assignment instructions are compared to what the rubric is super off. Just going through the discussions and grading people's assignments it was clear everyone on the final was confused about tasks 9 and 10. Confusing instructions and poor scaffolding are rampant. I wish the would learn from how Google does thier classes.

Very good introduction to git and GitHub. I particularly appreciate the fact that they covered how to fork a repo and how to contribute to a repo that has been forked.

Repetitive content and peer graded assignments are a joke, everyone submitting trash and the ones doing an effort are wrongly graded.

The final project part 2 has problems. Apparently for at least five months based on the help requests dating back at least that far. What is really unacceptable is this problem still exists, and the staff who answered either don't understand the questions being posed or just post the same answer by rote.

Peer reviewed assignments are deducted points for correct answers. Coursera should provide an appeals process in which they review the assignments themselves.

not reached my expectations very disappointed

I would highly rate the Git and GitHub course as an exceptional learning experience. The course provided comprehensive and practical knowledge about version control and collaborative software development using Git and GitHub. The instructors did an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to grasp the fundamentals. The hands-on assignments and real-world examples helped solidify my understanding and allowed me to apply the concepts in a practical setting. The course also emphasized the importance of effective collaboration and showcased the power of GitHub for managing projects. Last but not least, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to master Git and GitHub and enhance their software development skills.

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!

The lessons are very practical , It saved me a lot of time if I try to learn github by myself.

worst one .. absolutely hate it

the peers review is too poor

I recently completed a course on Git and GitHub, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience! From the very beginning, I was impressed by the expertise of the tutors. They brought a wealth of knowledge and practical insights, which made the learning process engaging and informative. The teaching methods were excellent—combining theory with hands-on exercises that really helped reinforce what I learned. The tutors were patient and always available to answer questions, creating a supportive environment where I felt comfortable exploring new concepts. I particularly enjoyed the real-world examples and projects that allowed me to apply my skills in a practical context. It truly enhanced my understanding of version control and collaboration. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Git and GitHub. It was a fantastic learning journey, and I feel much more confident in my abilities now!

This is an excellent foundational course for anyone looking to understand and use GitHub effectively. The content is well-structured and easy to follow, making it suitable even for beginners. What sets this course apart is its practical approach—each concept is reinforced through hands-on examples, which helps build real-world skills and confidence in using version control. By the end of the course, I felt well-equipped to manage repositories, collaborate on projects, and understand core GitHub workflows. Highly recommended for learners aiming to strengthen their development workflow and collaboration practices.

This course is fantastic for getting started with Git and GitHub. It has significantly enhanced my understanding of version control, particularly with GitHub. I can already see how it will improve my productivity, boost my skills, and elevate my work in the development field. Additionally, it’s going to be invaluable for collaborative work in teams and companies. I highly recommend it to any developer, regardless of their field.

I love your hands-on, follow along mode of instructing learners. Videos, reading texts, video subtitles and notations made learning very friendly. I must admit, I am a lover of Coursera courses but I have never loved any course more than IBM Courses. They are so in-depth, comprehensive and industry-aligned. I realized this while undertaking Data Engineering professional certificate. All of you, be blessed.

A very useful course for me! If you want to gain basic experience with version control services like Git and GitHub, this course will provide you with enough knowledge. The coding practices are great, they give a good training. However, maybe there are some minor issues with inconsistency in some places that need to be addressed, but that’s ok overall. Thank you, IBM and Coursera!
