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 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.

The "Introduction to Git and GitHub" course by Google on Coursera was a great learning experience. The content was well-organized and easy to follow. The hands-on assignments and final project were particularly helpful in gaining practical experience. I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in learning version control with Git and GitHub.

This course is well structured and organized as the previous two were. The video lessons, quizzes, Lab assessment works provide clear instructions equipping the learner with the knowledge and skills needed to tap the power of VCS, Git in this case and GitHub for the webserver hosting of projects enabling great collaboration of teams on projects.

This is a wonderful course, made with soul. This is a wonderful story in simple words about complex topics. Huge thanks to the amazing creators and Google Corporation. I am a refugee from Ukraine studying to find a job and this course has been a huge support for me and my family during a difficult time after russia's dastardly attack on Ukraine.

This is a must to learn course for every IT professional, this course covers all the core concepts and handy study reference material with lots of demo during course video, and also provide labs to challenge your learned skill, i must say they are easy but some of them might not be straight forward but can be accomplished following the course.

The course is nicely arranged and explains the concepts of git (and VCS in general) decently. Most useful commands have been covered and should be enough to get you through most of what is thrown at you. For occasional stonewalls, the best solution is practice and experience. The hands-on Qwiklabs exercises are also great. Good course overall.

If you are new to the concept of VCS, Git and Github, this course is an absolute gem. It not only covers the basic but also some of the best practices in a collaborative project. The assignment and courseworks are pretty straightforward but I guess the real learning comes from your practicing most of the concepts here in real world projects.

It was great experience to learn. Its really important to learn about git and GitHub when we are working in a team for some project. Its destiny that I was able to study about the same from gdsc along with this Course. This made concept more clear in my mind. Now it's time to practice the skill. Practice .... Practice ....and Practice!!!!!

This course by Google was a very comprehensive and extensive course. It started with the knowledge of Linux commands and then gradually built upon this knowledge to extend to version control with git, throughout the course, there were plenty number of exercises to practice the concepts learnt. Overall it was a fun and great experience.

Outstanding course. Recommend each and every IT specialist who wants to know his/her about history of their code and what they have done so far. Quite to be honest, in the past I used the Github but I have no clue about what I am doing. In this course I learn both fundamentals and some expert-level of using Git and Github. Thank you!

It is the most useful course about GitHub that I have ever taken. The content is really very well explained. I am actually an agricultural engineer with no background at all about IT and all those stuff and I followed this course smoothly without any difficulties and I am not applying the content in my job and it really helped a lot

A very good and throughout introduction to the version control system.

The Git part was very complete and useful.

The GitHub part can get a bit more intimidating. The content provided is enough to get us through normal daily use, however if you would like to learn more you will probably need another course.

A very good one overall.

I have learned so much about git and github from this course. Although, introduced as an introduction course this course covers almost every aspects of git and github which will be enough for many learners out there to include Git and Github as their skills in their resume.

Thank you Kenny, and everyone for your support.

I learned Github is more than commits and pushing. This is a whole package to learn more about Github and version control systems. Instructor is taking sessions with great clarification and lots of nerdy humour :). I hope this helps a lot of us for collaborating and creating awesome stuff with version control systems.

This was an interesting and important course added to my learning as an IT HelpDesk, even though I don't use it right now I learned a lot on how to create repositories and work with collaborators and remotely too.

Adding new skills and knowledge so I can give more and be more productive working in teams or by myself.

I took some courses and watch some tutorials on Git and GitHub to understand better. However, they only got me confused the more. Opposite is the case with this course because it has helped me got the concepts clear.

The tutor's method of teaching and communication skill are really inspiring and motivating.

I liked this course a lot. I should recognize that Git is very difficult to understand, but the instructor explained every concept very clearly. The graphical examples are very good and thanks to them it's easier to understand a lot of concepts. The labs were interesting too. Thank you for this course!

I have really enjoyed having this course. Very structured and step by step. I was always very curious how developers manage to make a software or collaborate in an environment that they can track every small changes. Now I have an understanding for how a team collaborate in a coding project. Thanks.

Incredibly useful overview of Git and GitHub, with just the right amount of detail to set you up to use it. This also includes examples of real scenarios that you may encounter, which is extremely helpful when the instructor is trying to explain to you why this feature/command exists. Great course!

Great content to get you started with GIT, I did have some prior knowledge so had a bit of understanding going in so it was good to understand the why. At some points though, this course is a bit to wordy in the videos and can be hard to keep up. Re-watch to go through again to understand.

After taking this course, I feel more confident about using git and GitHub. The instructor did a great job making this class enjoyable. I'd recommend this class to anyone who feels confused about how the different aspects of collaboration using git and GitHub fit together. Thanks, Google!

It was an amazing course. The guided labs helped me a lot!! I was like putting hand on practice while being guided and the videos were the perfect length, because when a video is longer than 15 minutes I start to lose focus. I already started using Git in my job. Totally recommended :)

My favorite thing about this course is how interactive it is. You can put on practice what you learnt right away and it just makes it easier to understand the concepts and practical uses it has. I recommend reading some of the complementary articles because they're so interesting too

That a wow 😲 courses you will learn git and GitHub at tremdous level starting with really basics from using git locally and initial it for your project to very advance resolving conflicts working with branches making pull request and reverting the changes

That really worth learning
