What is An introduction to 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.
Git is a fundamental instrument for any developer, serving as a powerful ally in tracking modifications and facilitating concurrent work on diverse aspects of a project. The proficiency of our trainers infuses a practical perspective into the theoretical principles, offering insights rooted in real-world experiences and sharing best practices.
