Share Description
In this course, you'll learn how to use Git, a popular version control system (VCS), to keep track of different versions of your code and configuration files. We'll also go over how to sign up for a GitHub account so you can create your own remote repositories to store your code and configuration.
You'll learn about Git's core functionality throughout this course so you can understand how and why it's used in organizations. We'll look at both basic and advanced features such as branches and merging. We'll show how having a working knowledge of a VCS like Git can come in handy in an emergency or when debugging. Then we'll look at how to use a VCS to collaborate with others via remote repositories, such as those provided by GitHub.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to store the history of your code in Git and collaborate with others in GitHub, where you'll also begin creating your own portfolio!
To follow along and complete the assessments, you'll need a computer on which to instal Git or have your administrator install it for you.
