Course Description
Git is the most used version control system for programmers in the world. GitHub, with 57 million repositories (projects) and 28 million users is the largest host of source code in the world.
The reality is, developers of all levels need to have a mastery of these tools.
Why?
Firstly, because employers are demanding these skills. Developers who don't know Git and GitHub have less opportunities available to them because so many companies are using one or both of these technologies.
Secondly, if you don't know how to use this technology you literally won't be able to function as a programmer anywhere that version control is used. And thats most companies! Don't get left behind!
This course was designed to get you back in the race - by giving you a mastery of both Git and GitHub!
You will learn all the basics of Git and GitHub, everything from what a repository is, to adding your code to one.
Commits, Pull Requests, Forks, Cloning a repository, Branches, Handling Merge conflicts, Continuous Integration and Delivery, Markdown, GitHub Pages and Google Colab - It's all here.
But in addition to that you will learn how to use Git and GitHub in real life development situations, rather than learning theory only - So you will know how to use Git and GitHub the right way, and be ready to apply it to your professional development career.
Eduardo, your course instructor has structured this course in such a way that you will be able to follow the videos step by step and apply each concept as you go and finally build up to the final section on Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (a topic which is not covered by other Git and GitHub courses).
You truly will be a master of Git and GitHub by the end of the course.
I could go on and on about what's in the course, but all you really need to know is that this is a comprehensive course on the topic and Eduardo as the instructor, and Learn Programming Academy as the publisher have a great track record of producing high quality courses. So you can be assured that its the right training you need to master Git and GitHub. This course is ready for you now.

I was wondering what grade I should give... Overall, the course is well thought out, good and well structured. English is not my native language and unfortunately, the accent and vocabulary of the presenter (e.g. pronouncing the "g" in the word "bug" as "h") forced me to read the captions on the screen instead of fully focusing on what is happening on the screen . The second problem is that the course has not been updated for quite a long time and, unfortunately, the appearance of the GitHub page has changed a lot in the meantime. I'm also not entirely satisfied with the way Git's functionality is covered. Not everything was clear to me, e.g. sometimes the host clicked/opened something without comment and I had to guess what was going on and what should I do. Nevertheless, the course is definitely worth completing.

It was an amazing course, I have learnt a lot about Git and GitHUB. Also, I was happy for additional section about CI/CD which provides me with actual brief description of what it is exactly. I really recommend it for everyone who is wondering what is Git or how to manage with GitHub.
By Barry Dick on 6/12/2021
One of the issues that I have understanding Git and GitHub are the merge conflicts. It could have been more informative if multiple users were exploring a repository and showing just how to ensure that when I make a push that it would not inflict upon someone else's contribution. These are the kind of things that make it difficult for someone who has never worked in collaboration with others on another repository could benefit from. Most of the stuff I can go on from here on out will be purely on practice. Some of results through out the course seemed confusing, like when to pull, how to tell if there was any changes remotely, and whether what I do can inflict on other pushes. Lots of unanswered questions.

One of the best lecturers I’ve seen on Udemy. The course content is good, well balanced when you are reviewing old skills and I assume that will be perfect for peoples who just learn about software versioning and GitHub. Although some reviewers stated that stashing is not presented ( as a negative aspect ) , I search and read and make couple of tests using the official git page in under 30 minutes. The only negative remark is that there it has no individual exercise/Labs part. Keep up the good work Eduardo !
