Yes, this course has been great. I like his pace and how he breaks things down. Not too fast and not too slow, just perfect. I like it when I don't need to fast forward the lesson.
By Waleed M. Abdelkawy on 3/4/2026
It was a good match, although I used git and GitHub before but this was a real quick hit in the core essential needed skills. I got it all done in one working day. Thank you
By Roberto caravelli on 2/19/2026
in general it's a good course but sometimes it's difficult to follow because there are not enought practical example from real situations. The course itself is a good starting point
By Harris Josye on 2/1/2026
It was a great course! one suggestion is to add more on GitHub and GitHub actions, also advanced git commands. But overall this is a solid course on understanding how git works.
By Kareem Shahatta on 1/31/2026
Highly engaging and very informative, this course covers most essential aspects of Git and GitHub, making it perfect for junior developers looking to learn version control efficiently.
By Danay Gebresemayate on 1/14/2026
When I first started, I had no idea about git or GitHub, but even half way i have gained so much knowledge, and I am even sharing my own projects on my git repo. Thank you again for the clear teaching methods
