Git Started with GitHub (Udemy.com)

Reasonably good course to start with Git and GitHub if you know almost nothing of this topic. It is very basic but its strong point is that it good insight in the several states a file can be and giving an oversight. The downside is that the course at this moment (January 2026) is a bit outdated. For example the website of GitHub is looks different now, but more important the way of authorisation for syncing a local repository to GitHub has changed. The way shown is this course is not working any more since August 2021. Someone else showed met that.

All the basics to start using GIT are mentioned here, including step-by-step guide. Even though creation of branches are not tackled here, this course provided me great (yes, great!) confidence in navigating/using GIT, making it also easier for me to move forward with my GIT learning and researching about that branching part. Thank you very much for creating this training and making this very accessible to everyone.

Superb free course to learn the basics of Github. The topic of course is not a exciting one . Instructor is very professional and very knowledgeable in the subject matter however needs to break up the dullness of this course via some humor or practical exercises to bring home what has been taught. Overall fantastic with some improvement required.

A very good course for beginners to Git. Concise and clear explanation of the topics with very good takeaways. The instructor seems to know his topics in depth and does a very good job in teaching. It would have been great if more topics were covered, but that's what you get for free. I have heard there is a more in-detail course of the same instructor which is paid.

This course was an absolute joy to take. I've tried so many times to get through with learning how to use the git repository. Simply put, Failed at every turn. Jason took absolutely nothing for granted, he trained us like we had no clue as to what we were doing. Which in my case was bloody accurate. I finally got through the entire git push, commit, program without feeling like my brain was turning to oatmeal or I was the only English speaking person in France, or worst yet the only earthling on Mars. I can't thank you enough Jason for making this course. It puts me closer to my goal, which is exactly where I want to be. Everyone else whom I tried to take this course from , just assumed we knew some of what to do , but where do you go when you haven't even got the 1st clue where to start????? I will tell all my friends where to go now. Because I know. Again, Thank You.

Jason Taylor has done a good job with this course. He is very clear and explains things step by step. The one thing he did not do was to get the local projects "fresh-project" and "web-project" to GitHub. This course would have been complete in every respect had he done that. To me, this course remains a five star course even with the missing feature mentioned above.

I wasn't able to follow and achieve the results of the course content. I went through the course twice and I am still unable to use git as a tool for my web development.

Great free course! Since Git Bash for Windows is such a recent release, there aren't many tutorials for absolute beginners out there yet. Jason does a great job walking you through the basics in this course. The only thing I'd recommend improving here is further explaining in-depth what some of these commands and concepts are (what certain things stand for and why). But again, for a completely free course, this is a fantastic start to learning Git Bash!

Excellent course and excellent Instructor. Material succinct and explained well. I, for one, appreciate the increased screen size for easy viewing. After looking at digital screens all day, it's a relief not to have to squint so that I can enjoy the learning experience. One thing he missed: he didn't show the "git pull" command even though it was listed to be covered in his Conclusion lecture. And although branching wasn't listed in this course, it would have been great to have that included in a 'basics' course.

It is a good course to get started with git repository. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to start using git. Jason has explained it succinctly and presented only the required information. I liked his explanation, short videos very good and I did not have to repeat and playback even a single time to understand what he explained. Overall a nice course
