This course helped me get comfortable working with command line basics, combined with Git/Github. There were few errors in labs or test but nothing that really detracted from the overall quality.

This course allowed me to gain insight, into a part of the programming profession that I was not even aware of.

I highly recommend completing this course and even revisiting it periodically.

Overall, this course was great! I felt that I really discovered something new and fascinating when learning about version control systems. Knowledge about Git and GitHub was something I've wanted to obtain for a long time, and finally, the mysterious coding platform has revealed its secret and I feel myself in a programmer's flow!😎👌☘️✨

I definitely look forward to continuing with this certification's courses!

I wish you all the best of luck with achieving your goals and aspirations!

Thank you, Coursera, for providing me the financial support and helping me with my career goals!🥰

This is the most incredible Version Control course I've ever taken. I learned a lot about Git and GitHub, as well as the differences between the two. I also learned about various VCSs. I learned how to fork, commit, and push repositories by conducting the practical labs. I also learned how to use UNIX and Git commands. I also like how the instructor explains.

One thing I should add is that the repository for the provided lab is not available. This is a concern, but it has no impact on the general quality of the course.

This is one of the best online course on Version Control for many reasons. I want to explain some. First and foremost, the course's structure is really good. Secondly, the teacher knows deeply and use it in her daily job and most importly the course is well paced, giving you a time span to finish on time. Beside grasping git and hithub you will use comfortably the bash command line that is a very usuful tool IT. If you don't know till now which oneline course to take on the subject, I strongly recommend it.

This course made Git, GitHub, and Command Line a lot easier to understand and took away a lot of the intimidation with working without a GUI. It demonstrated and went step by step on all the commands you need to know while collaborating on a project and setting up projects. And the additional readings contained a lot of useful resources that I'll come back to.

Hello ! I don't know if you can read this but I would like to make a suggestion. You should also get QR Codes on certificates because if someone prints it out to give it to someone he/she/reiciever would have to type the verification link in a browser instead of just scanning the QR Code and getting the link already written. I hope you like this suggestion!

The skills I learned from this course were directly applicable to my current job. Learning how to use git is crucial for programmers and this course explains how to use GitHub as well as work with git in the local environment as well. I recommend it for anybody wanting to differentiate themselves from novice programmers and elevate their skills.

The course is very useful. There may be a need to update the walkthroughs in the course due to changes made to some user interfaces, related to online resources and programs. Having to feel your way through a system or resource that doesn't quite match the in-course example does help with remembering the material and newly learned skills.

Buen curso.

Entendi cosas que en mi trabajo las hacia porque tenian que ser asi. Con este curso me abrio los ojos y pude entener varios conceptos y solidificar las bases.

No es muy avanzado, es una introduccion basica-intermedia pero con variedad de ejemplos, documentacion y bases para ir explorando y aprender por uno mismo.

It is a great introduction to version control. The course focuses on git and GitHub. Since GitHub changes rapidly the course screenshots were sometimes outdated. Figuring out things on your own add to the learning experience. All in all, this is a great course. Well suited for beginner to intermediate learners.

This was most required course for the most required skill to be a developer.

Teachers were clear with their goal of what to teach and how to teach.

Assignments were so good but there was one problem that these assignment were not graded.

Overall course was awesome. and

Thank you for this course

Very good course. People always just give you a cheatsheet of command line arguments to use Git without explaining anything and I could never find good ressources I liked for my style of learning. This is a pretty perfect course. It's so well explained everything feels easy.

The course is great! I had a little experience with Git and GitHub before, but this course significantly improved my knowledge. It was also very useful to learn Unix commands to be more confident when working with the terminal. Thank you, Meta and Coursera!

This course was a great introduction to Git and the Command Line. It is essential to practice every day for the knowledge to stick, but the instructor was outstanding. She explained all the concepts with valuable examples and her attitude was motivating.

Version Control is an awesome course indeed. My confidence level is pretty good now to work in any global development team. I knew Git for years now. But this prominent course added advanced features to my skill set. I would like to thank a lot to Meta.

En un principio me parecía un tanto simple el hecho de aprender control version, pero en realidad me sirvio mucho para entender en profundidad los conceptos de git, además que me introdujo en los comandos de linux que son un mundo extra que desconocia.

Git's command-line interface is powerful, and I prefer it for most of my tasks. I can confidently say that it's one of the most powerful and essential tools for modern software development. I thanks to course platform to give this amazing course.

Excellent content, teaches you the theoretical and practical sides of version control systems mainly Git. Pros: - Lots of quizzes to revise what you learned. - Lab assignments to practice. Cons: None that I can think of at the moment.

Great course. Git was always confusing to me. It's getting much clearer now. It's better to apply new knowledge to remember material. And review it again and again if you forgot something. That's totally ok, that's how our brain works.
