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.
