Essential Git – All You Need to Know to Use Git Effectively

Overview

Git refers to a free open source version-control system that is used to track changes in computer files and to coordinate work on those files amongst multiple users. Git is mainly used in software development for source-code management, however, it can be used to keep track of the changes in manuscripts, codes, presentations and data analysis projects as well. Git is very easy to understand and is considered to be relatively fast and efficient. It outperforms SCM tools such as Subversion, CVS, Perforce and clearcase with features such as convenient staging areas, multiple workflows and cheap local branching.

It is a very basic utility tool that is of immense help for web developers. Mastering the essentials of Git would benefit if you are a web developer or planning to kick start a career in web development. This Essential Git – All You Need to Know to Use Git Effectively course will teach you what Git is, what’s the use case behind each feature, and how you can use it effectively like most professional web developers use it. You will also be able to learn about topics such as installation, basic operations, branching, tags, remote repositories, and so much more through this course. At the end of the course, you will be required to participate in an open source project hosted in Github where you will collaborate with other students to build a worldwide restaurant guide by putting into practice everything you have learned in the course.
