By 宗益 蔡

a good introduction to basic git command and usages

By Darrell Malick

So slow and the language is very imprecise. No skill at explaining - very frustrating when he "explains" by simply reading what is already written on the page or help file.

By Satish Chaturvedi

It is an excellent course with hands-on demo.

By Guy Getchius

sections are super small, and should cover more, also mistakes in verbal versus typing should be cleaned up.
