Amazing course.....initially I thought that I will have some problem with Instructor's accent but I was wrong.
Everything is so perfectly explained and proper time is given to each topic. But the best thing is those low level Git commands which are quite helpful and make things even more clear. Thanks sir for such an awesome course!!!
