An introduction to Git

Get introduced to Git, the widely used version control system. Learn the basics and understand how to manage your projects effectively using Git.

 

At the end of the training you will be able to:

• Understand the benefits of having a version control system
• Manage projects with repositories for development teams
• Control and track changes when staging and committing your modifications
• Push local updates to a project and get the latest version by pulling latest changes
• Branch and merge, enabling to work simultaneously on different parts/versions of a project

This course will help you get started with Git, understand its importance, and how to use it effectively in your projects. Whether you are a developer or a data scientist, this course has something for everyone. So, come and join us in this journey of learning Git.

 

Git is a widely used version control system and a tool every developer will encounter. This course will first introduce you to the theoretical background of why the developer community uses version control systems, how they make life easier, and Git’s place in this ecosystem. After the theoretical part, we will dive into all the basic actions a developer performs to utilize Git. From creating repositories to tracking changes, pushing them, and pulling other people’s changes, and even branching off versions and merging them back together. One small catch… we will do this completely via the command line interface (CLI). This way, when the time comes and you have to work with Git, a GUI’s presence will add on to your workflow instead of holding you back whenever something in the interface is unclear. This way, you will really be ready to work with Git.
