GIT: Branching and Merging (Udemy.com)

This course does a great job introducing the fundamentals of Git branching and merge conflict resolution. The explanations are clear, and the hands-on demonstrations using Git and GitHub make it easy to follow along even for beginners.

I really enjoyed this course. Presenter was not "perfect" there were mistakes made along the way that humanised the course and made me feel that everything being taught could be achieved by me, I liked that. The lecture sizes were good & the presentation, reviews and assignments gave me enough to practice what I was being shown. Thanks for the course material - will be of benefit, not just for assignments but for the future.

There is a great deal of information to consume because of the flexibility of GIT and multiple ways of doing things. This course wrangles the information to provide great clarity for Branching and Merging. I had limited experience with GIT when starting this course but was able to follow along and I have learned a great deal. If you have a similar experience level when taking this course, then I would really encourage you to experience the actions presented by performing them along with Brian as he walks through the efforts. Also writing notes for the sequences of GIT commands helped me retain them. Finally, for someone with my experience level, I would suggest going through each lecture in sequence and avoid jumping around. I don't feel that I would have learned as much if I tried to just "skip to the interesting parts".

Course is good but it could be better if author would have show examples with a simple text file instead of couple HTML code. People other than web developers need git too. This course could have been easily under 2 hours but I think courses under 2 hours have to be free. So author chose to extend the course with unnecessary talks.

Absolutely brilliant delivery of Course material. I could keep up and do the work parallel on my own Git repos. I definitely feel I have a better understanding of Git and all it entails and will most certainly be able to implement my new skills immediately. It was just what I was looking for seeing that I had very little knowledge before I joined,

This is a great tutorial covering complex and confusing concepts due to the many steps and many commands. It is taking me much longer than the the displayed times to go through each video, but that is because I am rewinding a lot to review things as I go. Concepts are sinking in though and I appreciate the presentation and attention to detail.

At the end of the course, the guy says: "You can now consider yourself an intermediate Git user". I agree with his statement. The contents is good. Nonetheless, this is what you should know before taking this course. When the instructor explains, he tends to ramble. So at the end of the video sessions, I didn't feel ready for explaining (to myself or to others) how to do what I was just taught to do. Therefore, for others who are planning to take this course, I recommend doing the following: Every several videos, you are going to find a summary and a quiz. Don't take the natural path of going through the videos, doing what the instructor tells you in the videos, and then taking the corresponding quiz. Instead, jump to the summary. Go through it and do what it is said in it. The summary is much more straightforward and clear than the videos. After doing what is said in the summary, go back to the videos and just watch them. Finally, take the corresponding quiz.

This a very good course in branching and merging. It shows the basic process of branching and merging which will help you get started. The accompanying activities are good ways to reinforce the lessons and doing these a few times would definitely reinforce the process.

Very good course, a solid 4,5. It is short and to the point, I would only add more strategies for workflows with branches. Some minor details could be explained in more depth. Other than that, it is indeed a great course that keeps everything short and to the point. Thank you!

This course covers Git basics, specifically the git init, status, add, commit and log commands as a refresher or starting point to the main content. The main content was git branching and merging -- both on local and remote (GitHub) repositories. I was unfamiliar with tracking remote branches on my local repo, and the examples and exercises helped to gain experience doing that. The pivotal benefit I obtained from this course involved contributing to and managing a GitHub organization. Specifically, a third of the course involved pull requests (PR) from the local and remote (organizational) repo. It provided three scenarios and exercises where there were merge conflicts and how to resolve them on both the local and remote repos.

Very basic course.

Good git intermediate course
