Course Description
Imagine yourself being prepared to launch a personal software project of your own making. You need a smart way to keep your development process secure, avoiding rework and making it easy to make changes to your code. More than that, you want to share your work with the world.
Can you imagine?
"Where the world builds software"
Millions of developers and companies create, ship, and maintain their software on GitHub, the world's largest and most advanced collaborative software.
- GitHub 2021
Do you know Google? Amazon? Netflix?
All these companies above use Git and GitHub in their software projects!
Most likely, there are companies that develop software in your neighborhood that also use Git and GitHub in their applications!
Git is a very powerful tool that cannot be missed when programming and is currently indispensable for many companies, given its flexibility and speed in its process. That would make it a lot easier when managing the various versions of your project, wouldn't it?
Did you know that by using version control in your projects, you can maintain multiple versions in your applications that can be web, mobile, or even frontend or applied to the backend?
Do you want to understand how to do this?
Well, you're in the right place!
In this course, you will learn what Git and GitHub are for and how to use them in your personal projects, all in a light, uncomplicated and practical way! You will understand the whys and how these tools allow you to control the versions of your software.
If you don't know anything about Git and want to start from ZERO, or if you already use Git in your projects but want to review the basics of versioning, distributed version control systems, Git, and GitHub, THIS COURSE IS PERFECT FOR YOU!
Note that this course does not cover advanced Git concepts that allow you to work in a team with multiple people, such as Branch, Merge, and Rebase concepts, for example.
In other words, if you are an advanced user of Git, this course is not for you!
The focus of this course is REALLY to give you a solid foundation in a lightweight, uncomplicated way on how to use Git to make YOUR project more Git-secure, how to use GitHub to centralize version control of your software, and everything, publicize your work. Oh, and of course, you can also build on top of other projects available on GitHub. That could be a game-changer in your career!
That is, with this course, you will feel comfortable dealing with tasks related to project versioning in your day-to-day, as well as gaining experience in how to use Git in line with GitHub!
Have you thought? A tool that makes the version control of your software easy to learn and allows you to work with the most diverse types of applications and files?
That is Git in line with GitHub!
So, are you ready to get your next skill in the coding world?
An intelligent decision is to take this course.
Why?
Let me give you 8 reasons.
1) This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of Git and GitHub that are essential when developing a software project.
2) Learn by doing, create repositories, and store and update your projects securely and in just one place on GitHub. Keep your repositories public or private if you prefer.
3) Market visibility, reach more people through your projects on GitHub, and keep your projects online so everyone can see your source code.
4) Lean. Using Git in your projects, you can reach the world. Instead of doing like other courses out there that push you content without the slightest connection, we did the heavy lifting of selecting the most important content, organizing it, and having it present in a cohesive and super simple way.
5) This course is strategically designed to maximize your learning potential using scientifically proven techniques to optimize your brain's ability to build the neural pathways necessary to learn the concepts presented on Git & GitHub.
6) The course contains classes that will take your code to another level. Today having an account and projects on Github has become a differential, as it is becoming an extra-curricular tool that makes it easier for clients and companies to get to know their work better on the web.
7) This course was designed by Mirko Perkusich, a best-selling Udemy instructor, and Omni Academy, a company with over 250,000 students worldwide.
