Requirements
Version control is the backbone of modern software development, it’s how developers track changes, collaborate seamlessly, and manage complex projects with confidence. At the heart of it all lies Git and GitHub, the most widely used tools for code versioning and collaboration.
This course takes you from the very basics of version control systems to real-world GitHub collaboration, ensuring you gain both practical knowledge and hands-on experience.
Whether you’re a beginner, a developer stepping into team workflows, or a project manager who wants to understand how code collaboration works, this course will equip you with everything you need to confidently use Git and GitHub like a pro.
What’s in this course?
We’ll begin with the fundamentals of Version Control Systems, explore the differences between Centralized (CVCS) and Distributed (DVCS) systems, and understand why Git revolutionized version control.
From there, you’ll install and configure Git across different operating systems, learn the core concepts of repositories, commits, branches, and merges, and then move on to GitHub, where real collaboration begins.
Through demonstrations, you’ll perform push, pull, clone, and rebase operations, handle merge conflicts, and learn how to create pull requests, manage issues, and collaborate with others using GitHub’s workflow.
You will build practical projects, including:
- Setting up and configuring Git across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Working with files – tracking, committing, and managing changes
- Using branching, merging, and rebasing to handle project versions
- Connecting your local Git with GitHub using HTTPS or SSH
- Understanding the difference between git fetch, git pull, and git push
- Collaborating with others via Forks, Issues, Discussions, and Pull Requests
- Using GitHub Projects, Wikis, and Actions for productivity and automation
- Tagging and versioning project releases
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Use Git confidently for solo and team projects
- Manage repositories and track changes like a professional developer
- Collaborate effectively using GitHub’s tools and workflows
- Automate workflows and manage project documentation efficiently
Special Note
This course is packed with hands-on demonstrations, practical examples and real-world troubleshooting, ensuring you don’t just learn Git commands, but also understand how and when to use them in real projects.
