Course Description

This course is neither endorsed by, nor in partnership, nor affiliated with GitLab, Inc.


GitLab is transforming the way teams collaborate to get work done. One central component of GitLab is the possibility of hosting Git repositories.

To take full advantage of GitLab, you need to know the basics of Git.

For many beginners, working with Git can be scary. I can reassure you that once you understand the main concepts around Git, collaborating it others will be easy.


What is Git?

Git is a versioning control system that allows you to keep track of changes to files and also share changes with others. A bit like Dropbox but much more advanced.


What will I learn if I take this class?

If you take this class, you will be able to work with others on shared Git repositories with no issues.

In this course we class we cover:

  • the basics around Git

  • how to commit changes

  • how to share changes with others on GitLab

  • how do handle merge requests

What is the difference between GitHub and GitLab?

Great question. Both are online services that offer Git hosting and collaboration tools. While Github is very popular for open source projects, GitLab is mostly adopted by organizations for private repositories.


What are the requirements for taking this class?

No previous knowledge is required. I am around to help if you get stuck.


Do I need programming skills?

While Git is often used by software developers, you don't need any programming skills to learn Git.


Do I need to install any software?

Yes, you need to be able to install Git on your computer.

Git is open source and free to download. You will find more instructions in the course notes.

Instructor Details

Valentin Despa

I teach IT professionals what I wish I'd known earlier.

My foundation is built on years in the trenches as an Agile Enterprise Software Developer, engineering solutions for everything from fast-paced start-ups and SMBs to large global corporations. I hold recognized roles as an AWS Community Builder, Postman Supernova, and GitLab Hero, alongside a deep history of securing and building major open-source projects.

For over a decade, I've taken that real-world experience and quietly built one of the largest learning communities around API tooling, test automation, and DevOps practices. What started as a side YouTube channel turned into hundreds of thousands of learners, conference talks, and team workshops at companies most IT professionals have heard of.

The thread through all of it is the same: take something that looks intimidating and break it down so anyone can understand it in plain language.

Lately, I've been spending more time on practical AI in the workplace. I look at how teams can leverage AI for both everyday knowledge work and hands-on IT engineering, like coding and testing. I focus on cutting through the hype to figure out how AI actually helps IT professionals get work done, build, and ship faster. New formats, same approach.

very good training session. covered all the basic git commands and features. it give clear understanding for beginners.

By David Zambonini on 6/1/2026

I already have familiarity with git, so in part I'm judging this course to see if it's a suitable introduction for other team members. So far it's simple and clear, which is helpful, and as expected.

By Friedemann Kiedaisch on 4/8/2026

Das Pidgin-English des Vortragenden ist grausam. Da helfen auch die deutschen Untertitel nicht.

By Eric BILLOT on 3/25/2026

I am curious as to the rythm of the course. Keep in mind that this is my first participation in Udemy

By Lefteris Loghis on 3/18/2026

Up to the point I have seen, I understand that all the useful information has been given in a fully understandable way.

By Leonid Lezhnin on 2/13/2026

This course goes over basics of Git in a fast pace. Might be little too fast to learn Git from zero. However, very good on understanding how to integrate Git with GitLab and start working with remote repos.

By Anonymized User on 1/10/2026

Es un curso muy concreto, lo cual me ha sido de suma utilidad dado que me era urgente entender bien los conceptos de Git y GitLab.

By Diksha Sharma on 12/19/2025

Beginner friendly and not boring at the same time. Easy language is used to explain each concept. Really nice Course

By Marcelo Sergio Olmedo Valencia on 11/25/2025

Excelente curso: explica Git y su uso en GitLab de forma clara y práctica, me ayudó a entender el flujo de trabajo con repositorios, commits y merge requests sin complicaciones.

By Erwin Hipp on 11/7/2025

The course is very short, ideal for refreshing your knowledge. Although I have been working with Git for a long time, I learned new things.
