Git: Become an Expert in Git & GitHub in 4 Hours
Imagine a world where every coding mistake you make isn’t a disaster. A world where you can experiment fearlessly, backtrack effortlessly, and collaborate seamlessly. That’s the power of mastering Git and GitHub—a skill that transforms chaotic workflows into streamlined, version-controlled masterpieces.
This free course isn’t just about learning commands. It’s about unlocking a developer superpower. Let’s dive into what awaits you.
What You’ll Master
Git Theory and Real-World Application
Git isn’t just a tool—it’s a philosophy. You’ll grasp its core principles, from tracking changes to safeguarding your work. Learn how Git creates snapshots of your progress, builds timelines of your projects, and acts as a safety net when things go sideways.
Git vs. GitHub: Clarity and Purpose
Many confuse Git (the version control system) with GitHub (the collaboration platform). By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand their distinct roles but also how they synergize to elevate your workflow.
Source Control Demystified
Why do developers obsess over version control? You’ll uncover the motives behind tracking every change, from preventing catastrophic errors to enabling team collaboration.
Repositories: Local vs. Remote
A repository is your project’s DNA. Learn how local repositories live on your machine and remote ones (like GitHub) act as shared hubs for collaboration.
Commands That Matter
From git add to git merge, you’ll master foundational and advanced commands. Discover how the staging area works, how to reverse mistakes with checkout or reset, and how branches let you experiment without risk.
GitHub’s Collaborative Power
GitHub isn’t just for hosting code. You’ll learn to create repositories, push/pull changes, explore others’ projects, and make your work visible to the world.
What You Need to Get Started
A Computer with an OS (Any OS)
Windows, macOS, Linux—it doesn’t matter. Git works everywhere.
Basic OS Navigation Skills
Comfort with creating folders, moving files, and using a terminal or command prompt is essential. Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through terminal basics if you’re new.
Why This Course Stands Out
Most Git tutorials overwhelm learners with jargon or skip critical theory. This course is different.
Built for All Skill Levels
Whether you’ve never touched a terminal or you’re a developer seeking Git integration, we start at ground zero. We demystify the terminal first, ensuring you’re confident before diving into Git.
Step-by-Step Progression
No rushed explanations. Each concept—from creating your first repository to merging branches—is broken into digestible steps. You’ll practice, reflect, and solidify skills before moving forward.
Free, Comprehensive, and Practical
This isn’t a surface-level overview. With 4+ hours of content, you’ll explore:
Git workflows and staging areas
Branching strategies and conflict resolution
GitHub repository management
GUI tools like SourceTree for visual learners
Real-World Focus
Theory alone doesn’t build muscle memory. You’ll apply every concept through hands-on exercises, like pushing code to GitHub and reverting broken commits.
Who Should Enroll?
Novices Hungry for Skills
If terms like “version control” or “repository” sound alien, this course is your Rosetta Stone.
Developers Seeking Efficiency
Tired of manual backups or chaotic teamwork? Git and GitHub will revolutionize your workflow.
Collaborators and Solo Coders Alike
Whether you’re part of a team or a lone wolf, Git’s backup and branching features are game-changers.
