Description
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 liesGitandGitHub, the most widely used tools for code versioning and collaboration.

This course takes you from thevery basics of version control systemstoreal-world GitHub collaboration, ensuring you gain both practical knowledge and hands-on experience.

Whether you’re abeginner, adeveloper stepping into team workflows, or aproject managerwho 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 thefundamentals of Version Control Systems, explore the differences betweenCentralized (CVCS)andDistributed (DVCS)systems, and understand why Git revolutionized version control.

From there, you’llinstall and configure Gitacross different operating systems, learn the core concepts ofrepositories, commits, branches, and merges, and then move on toGitHub, where real collaboration begins.

Through demonstrations, you’ll performpush, pull, clone, and rebase operations, handlemerge conflicts, and learn how tocreate pull requests, manage issues, and collaborate with othersusing 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 viaForks, Issues, Discussions, and Pull Requests

UsingGitHub Projects, Wikis, and Actionsfor 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 withhands-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.
