Version Control with Git

Git as a team tool

This course gives a hands-on grounding in Git, the version control system that lets teams manage shared files as projects grow. It is described as assumed knowledge for many programming and IT jobs, and as a core part of DevOps and continuous delivery work.

Skills named in the course

• Core Git operations on the command line
• Working with GitHub and Bitbucket as hosting services
• The command-line interface and the ideas behind version control

Because the course pairs concepts with practice, it suits anyone who has used Git only through a graphical tool and wants to understand what the commands actually do.

Work through the exercises in a scratch repository, since the course is built around practicing commands rather than reading about them.
