About the Course

In this course, you’ll learn how to keep track of the different versions of your code and configuration files using a popular version control system (VCS) called Git. We'll also go through how to set up an account with a service called GitHub so that you can create your very own remote repositories to store your code and configuration. Throughout this course, you'll learn about Git's core functionality so you can understand how and why it’s used in organizations. We’ll look into both basic and more advanced features, like branches and merging. We'll demonstrate how having a working knowledge of a VCS like Git can be a lifesaver in emergency situations or when debugging. And then we'll explore how to use a VCS to work with others through remote repositories, like the ones provided by GitHub. By the end of this course, you'll be able to store your code's history in Git and collaborate with others in GitHub, where you’ll also start creating your own portfolio! In order to follow along and complete the assessments, you’ll need a computer where you can install Git or ask your administrator to install it for you....

Awesome !!! I tried to learn git many times but things always slips over my head but I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this course and voila, I have learned so much in this course. Thanks a lot.

Awesome and well balanced course for working professionals. Clear explanations and coverage of typical use case scenarios. The labs were manageable and did not require a lot of time to complete them.

Good overview of Version Control other associated concepts and how to use them in your code development. VC is an essential part to any software project.

I had to install on my personal computer due to using a Chromebook for school.

I personally had a hard time following along on some parts

covered a lot of ground. Could have been clearer if it made use of illustrations to show where and the pushes and pulls were going.

Labs too weak, do not entirely cover the presented topics. Exercises in the presentation not available for practice.

The study material is not distributed properly. You have to juggle between different tabs and transcripts.

The final project of the last week is not graded and appropriate. Expected a better version.

The Course Content was basic but informative. The pushy attempts of the instructor trying continuously to be humorous is nothing but a letdown!

Other than that, it would have been very useful if some more time was invested in preparation of the course to provide for slides on the screen with important bullet points, workflows, guidelines etc. instead of showing the instructors face the whole time(no offense meant here), which in my opinion makes it much easier and faster to grasp the concepts, instead of listening and rewinding the videos repeatedly.

But still all in all, a good course to grasp the Git Basics.

Honestly, first two weeks were great. After that, it all went like rocket science. I had to watch week3 twice, some of the videos thrice to understand whatis going on. While designing the course, also keep in mind that not all the people are coming after finishing first two courses of the specialization. Videos of week 3 and 4 seemed like revision courses.

Great video content and lectures.

The Qwiklabs assesment tool is a night mare.

1. Takes a long time to provision resources.

2. Especially in week 3, even if you manage to push changes to the remote repository the checks verifying that you did will fail and you will not get the grade.

Teaching content is great, the assesment tool is a world of frustration

Random topics that have nothing to do with the training, including rando. social engineering. Doesn't tell you how to get GitHub or install it or anything.

Week 3 and 4 should be updated on the labs, otherwise this was a good course. Easy to work through.
