Course Description

Overview

Employers and developers everywhere are using Git. This is why you should learn it (and also because it's powerful and a really cool tool!)

Git is a powerful (and VERY popular) versioning tool for web developers. But it's hard to get started because there's a lot to know and everyone assumes you already know the basics.

This course is perfect for a web developers who's next step is to learn Git and GitHub. 

The core of this course is less than 30 minutes, and you'll learn:

  1. How to create a repository 
  2. How to copy it to your computer
  3. How to add files to your repository
  4. How to send the changes to GitHub

You'll also learn the terminology that developers use, like: cloning, staging, committing, pushing and diff. And you'll learn WHY Git is so popular and HOW it's powerful.

Not sure if you should pay for an 8 hour course on Git? Take this course first to get your feet wet.

P.S. You'll learn how to do all this through your command line... because one day you'll be deploying code on a server and you'll need to use the command line, it's the only way! This course will set you up for success! ;)
