The course provides a clear and practical introduction to Git and GitHub, making it easy to understand how to track, manage, and store code changes effectively. I especially appreciated the hands-on approach to using common Git commands and workflows, as well as the explanation of collaboration features on GitHub like pull requests and branches. It’s a great starting point for both beginners and those looking to strengthen their version control skills. To make it even better, adding more real-world team collaboration examples or common troubleshooting tips would be helpful. Overall, very informative and well-structured!

It covers the basics and explains how it works with nice visuals, while also teaching good practices on how to write commits, and while I prefer using Linux tools on the terminal, it's virtually the same and the skills are transferable, I do recommend the course.

A great and wonderful Git/Github course, I have really learnt a lot from Zero to Hero- You've got a cool teaching style that is welcoming and comprehensive. Additionally the cheat sheets at the end of each and every section as well as the trial quiz played a big role. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Brilliant! Git commit -m "Thank you" Also, I have a question: In section 7, video 40, Forking a Repository on Github, you used an account called Julia. I'm interested in recreating your example. Do you have any suggestion on how I can create a burner account similar to Julia's?

By Eberardo Duarte Garcia on 9/20/2023

Es excelente, maneja una variedad de comandos útiles, presenta para qué sirve dada uno y en qué contexto considerar usarlos. Es muy genial que las explicaciones son sencillas, específicas y breves, sin omitir lo que es realmente importante considerar

By Hortencia Cisneros on 1/8/2023

I liked the course, however what was missed was fixing complex issues reading git error messages that can be confusing, how to merge issues and how to work with git bucket, and any short cuts used on an editing platform like VScode.
