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.

A great course to understand the fundamental of version control. !
It break down break down complex problems and make it easy to understand.
A big thanks to the Mata teams and coursera :)

I had prior knowledge of Version Control so the course was fairly easy. Yet, it wasn't hard to see that if i didnt know what i already did, it may have been a little more challenging. I suppose that is the point of an online course like this - give you just barely enough to get started so you learn as you make the mistakes. However, the class repo that is supposed to be used for several of the lab sessions does not exist. Meta might want to look into that. Good course, regardless

Nice intro course. There are few items that need to be fixed. For example, Vim is not installed and thus I was unable to edit text files during the lab. There were a few other minor things which I cannot recall.
The videos were great. I cannot thank you enough for creating the videos with people that can speak in normal tones. I've been on the internet since the early '90s and I've watched in horror as the quality of spoken English has gone drastically downhill over the years.

It was another great introduction to the command line and Linux, git, GitHub and version control. Just really good from an instructor who really presents the material very well and in demonstrates a lot of knowledge of version control systems and the command line. One problem is the class repo link is broken and this has caused some frustration among students. Hopefully this will get fixed, then it is really perfect.

This course is great, and I highly recommend it to people who want to start learning version control, Git, and Bash or Linux commands. However, there is a lot of repetition in this course, and some important and challenging Git commands are not covered very well. You need to search for them throughout the course. I hope Meta staff review this course and provide a more organized version.

Very understanding and knowledgeable videos; however, I do not know if it was me, my computer, or the dating of the video; I was having trouble authenticating in Git at the 'Lab' sections. It made my experiences a bit hard, and I had to work around it. However, terms and their uses were explained very well, and I left this course with a good understanding of some. Thank you.

Theory on version control, Linux commands and Github was good.
Exercises had some issues when committing or pushing changes to Github, and needed fixes beyond what was taught in the course.
Exercises for Linux commands could have touched on more commands, and potentially how to interpret permissions

It's a decent course. I think that, like all of the Meta courses, it dumps a lot of information on you very quickly without making you do very much with it. I think they should do a separate course on bash commands and then allocate more time to the git material.

It gets through all the basics, but it's hard to actually get practice inside of the terminal for the labs. I think that there should be things done outside of the terminal on coursera and on your personal machine. Also, could have covered merge conflicts better.

Ok to learn about this course, yet I haven't worked on any project with other developers a lot.
From this course, although it felt like unrealistic to learn this, also it will be helpful to googling and grab things which I need to use for a project.

A well-organized and paced course. This course can be improved by having more visualizations for the Git part. For absolute beginners, the lack of imagination about repositories and branches when typing the commands can be a hard start.

It would have been a five stars because the labs were potentially so good. However, as I've probably already mentioned in other comments, students were not able to finish the forking lab because the class repo was not available.

I completed the Version Control Course, and it exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the moment I enrolled, I was impressed with the course structure, content quality, and overall learning experience.

A little too brief. With zero prior experience, I've got decent basic understanding, but do not feel confident enough. More videos of, for example, how to work with reposotory of 3+ files would be awsome.

This course is very good. But it is a bit easy. I hope it will go deeper in merge conflict and resolve some problems when using Git. Anyway, thank you very much for making this course so easy to follow.

Their were hyperlinks that weren't active and lead to a 404 error. Had to use github help to have forking practice. Other than that the course was very informative and I look forward to practing more.

It's certainly not bad and is a good introduction to version control but that's all it is, an introduction. You still have so much more to learn even after this course, but its an alright foundation.

Muy básico y faltó mas configuraciones que se pueden realizar, pero nada que no se pueda encontrar en la documentación, para entender el funcionamiento de manera general esta perfecto

precise instructions. Although I do feel it could cover some of the more advanced topics related to git such rebase, cherry picking etc. I came across while reading the documentation.

Some of the instructions were not very clear and the videos were really hard to follow because there were too much of new information to take in and we couldn't even think about it.

It is introductory course, but it shouldn't be so easy. Laboratories and quizes can be done within 5 minutes although it says you need 1h. You should make those more difficult

it's a great course, i really enjoy it. although on the labs the repo provided did not work, it wasnt a big deal i just used my own but this prevent me from practice forking.

It had a great walkthrough of the software development and version control workflow, although the bash section of the course was not up to par and has room for improvement.

The course was mostly really good however there were a couple of outdated links that made completing the final leg of the course a bit challenging. Really great otherwise!

Great, but ultimately incomplete information; not everything that was taught was explained. The teaching style felt out of order to me; demonstration before instruction.

Not everything is covered. most are present in additional resource section. So please go through from your end more and work more on related topics from your end.
