Git, Github and Version Control
In this free online course learn to manage multiple versions of your code with Git, on your machine as well as the cloud
Description
This course is meant to take you from knowing nothing to becoming a working user of Git. We make no claims of teaching each and every thing. But you will know enough to get the job done. So whether you are adding new features, or just fixing bugs, this course will be useful to you. Start of by learning why you need to use Git. Some of the reasons include: multiple developers and differentiated environments.
Then go on to learn how to add, commit and push. What these words mean and how to use these actions. Along the way learn about other useful tools like Git Bash, Terminal and Github Desktop. While we show you how to use git commands from Github Desktop, students will also learn the manual way from the command line. Learn how to create and merge branches when you need to add new features or fix bugs. Merging branches can lead to merge conflicts. Learn how to resolve those using Github. Students will go on to conceptually understand why we use branches. But sometimes we make mistakes. Learn how to revert back individual commits or entirely go back to a specific commit in history. Important releases need to be marked with tags. So you can easily revert back to these landmark points.
Students will learn how to work with teams, and go beyond being an individual contributor. What happens when you need someone else's code? We clone it. Need updates? Learn how to use Fetch and pull and then publish your changes onto a website. Finally learn how to manage teams using Organizations in GitHub.
