About
Technology companies increasingly depend on continuous delivery to give customers a better experience. Git (or other alternative version control methods) are necessary to do this. Git is mandatory for teamwork, organization, and project management. It makes the work process smooth as all team members can immediately see code changes and follow what others have done.
In this course, you will get started by understanding what version control is. Next, you’ll be guided through using Vim, a text editor within the console. You will use this to write commit messages when not using a graphical user interface (GUI). In the next section, you will explore how to configure Git and get it to work on any system. The course will then take you through the basic Git commands that you will use in projects such as git add, git commit, git push, git pull, and git fetch.
Later, you’ll get to grips with the technique of writing meaningful commit messages. This is vital so that everyone looking at the project can view the progress. You’ll then learn how to organize branches via Gitflow workflows to ensure that your project has an easy-to-work-with structure. From understanding what branches are and merging two branches to dealing with merge conflicts, this course will guide you systematically through the essential aspects. Later, you’ll get up to speed with using Source Tree for Git outside an IDE.
By the end of this course, you’ll be well-versed with the Git version control system and have gained useful insights into the software development workflow.
