This course is aimed at providing rock solid foundation in Git. It covers the most needed basic, intermediate, and advanced Git concepts that form the foundation of this wonderful source control management system (SCM) so that the student can go up and running within a matter of a few hours. However, this is not to say that this Git course covers things in a hurry. On the contrary, all the foundation Git concepts are explained with utmost care so that the student feels (assuming a newbie or starter) comfortable with the concepts that have been laid down with great consideration and due diligence. The sections devoted to GitHub bear the same hallmark of care & clarity that the sections on Git are marked with.

The Git & GitHub course is power-packed with intensive hands-on Lab sessions that cover the basic, elemental, and advanced concepts in great detail. The Labs are the highlights of this course which implements all the concepts that are explained thoroughly and exhaustively in the presentations.

Course Layout

The section Introduction and Getting Started covers a great overview of Git that will warm up the student before taking on the concepts layered in the subsequent sections. To spice up things, it briefly covers the history of Git. Next, the fundamental principles that govern Git are explained with well-illustrated diagrams so that students don’t face difficulty in facing the Labs that implement those concepts and principles. This section also introduces the Instructor and explains how to go through this Git course so that one gets the best out of it.

The section Git Setup and Installation demonstrates the installation process of Git on all three prevalent platforms, namely Windows, Linux, and Mac. Each platform is covered nicely with detailed explanations so that students do not face any difficulty in understanding the Git setup process and one can get up and running without a hitch.

The section Setting up a Git Repository explains thoroughly the Git configuration process which forms the basic prerequisites before one goes to the next step of creating Git repositories. Once the prerequisites are taken care of, the subsequent lectures carefully craft it way through explaining the step-by-step process of the Git repository creation process. The Git repository creation process comes in three flavors – creating from scratch with nothing on hand, converting an unversioned code base to a Git repository, and Cloning a Git repository that exists on GitHub.

In the Shell Commandssection of the Git & GitHub course, you’ll gain hands-on experience with essential shell commands like pwd, ls, cd, touch, rm, and more. These commands form the backbone of efficient navigation and file management within the terminal, a crucial skill for any developer working with Git. By mastering these commands, you’ll not only streamline your workflow but also enhance your ability to automate tasks and interact seamlessly with your Git repositories. This foundational knowledge empowers you to navigate and manage your projects with confidence and precision.

The section Enter GitHub explains this massively popular web-based Git repository with utmost care and precision. It explains the hugely popular and effective GitHub “fork” and “clone” processes. Before that, there are sections that navigate through GitHub in order to make the student familiar with the GitHub website, its user interface, and the general remote repository management process.

The section Committing changes in Git is where the action starts approaching the climax. Here the student will work on the Labs in order to understand the few concepts that form the pillars of Git, namely the “Git states”. One can understand how an artifact (file, directory, etc.) goes through the Git workflow to reach the climactic point wherein the artifacts are safely placed in the Git database.

The section Inspecting what’s going on in a Git Repository explains how to peek into the internal workings of Git. In short – what’s going on behind the scenes? Git status and log checks are covered in great detail wherein students start appreciating the beauty of Git.

The section Git Branching Basics covers branching basic concepts. Branching is an advanced concept and an attempt has been made not to burden the student with gory details of this advanced concept.

The section Undoing changes in a Git repository covers great details on the mechanisms you can use to undo changes in Git repository in case one changes his mind and wants to revert changes or fix any mess up. Techniques such as resetting, reverting, cleaning, and checkout for a Git repository have been treated with great care and detail.

The section Pushing into GitHub makes things hotter when the students start learning how to extend one’s arms beyond their local repository in a local machine to a remote repository on GitHub. The local-remote interaction and play are fascinating as the lectures in this section unravel the usage if Git and GitHub in a step-by-step manner.

The section GitHub via SSH is an advanced one and hence has been kept for the last. Here you will learn how to connect with GitHub via SSH protocol. In the learning process, the student will learn the basics of public key cryptography and its implementation w.r.t GitHub. SSH key generation and using them to connect local Git repository and GitHub forms a stimulating walk in the entire learning path.

The section Making Git bash friendlier and productive will empower you to have a Git bash prompt that allows customization in terms of its content, color, and functionality. It makes Git commands and their output highly readable and adds more expressiveness and color to all operations in the Git bash terminal.
