Welcome to Git for Everybody! (Git Essentials), the updated version for the modern web developer.
This is a course that will teach you everything you need to know about working with Git and GitHub. And you can use Windows, Mac or Linux — I will show you how to install Git on all three major operating systems.
By the end of this course you will have the knowledge and confidence you need to work in a team.
I have worked with several teams over the years and everything you will learn in this course is what I tend to use almost every day and certainly every week.Here is the rough outline of everything you will learn in this course:
How to use Git on the command line (pro tip: it is more important to learn Git from the command line first than it is to learn how to use a visual tool. Servers do not have visual programs)
Installing Git on Windows, Mac and Linux
How to configure Git on your computer, and add your SSH key
Creating, cloning and adding files to a GitHub repository
Managing files, commits and branches
How to merge branches into other branches
How to view old files from an older time
Viewing file differences and how to ignore certain file types
Forking repos (repositories)
How to work on GitHub by:
Creating custom branches and tags
Opening and managing GitHub issues
Opening and managing pull requests
How to undo a little work, and a lot of work
How to rebase
How to work through merge and rebase conflicts
And much much more!
Plus we will work through lots of real life examples together and get you hands on experience with all of this by creating your own repositories, forking my repo, and even safely opening a pull request on my work for some seriously hands on experience (because Git is better learned by doing).
