Good start.
By Sijia Lu
Very clear explanations
By Manuel Sepulveda
Great instructor!
By Rosendo Torres
He managed to clearly cover a ton of info in a short time all the while leaving out all the self glorifying bullshit or the lengthy dialog about nothing that that usually says "I have to talk so much because I know more than you and you are just not going to get it no matter how many different ways I explain".
note:
Feel free to remove or substitute the "bad word" from my review if it scares you.
By Ankit Maheshwari
Very clear and crisp explanations of complex topics. Great job. I would buy more courses of this instructor.
By Jacqueline Young
Thorough and easy to understand.
By Ty Richardson
It is excellent, but I'm not all the way through the course yet.
By Paul Brugger
Clear. Examples reproducible (unlike other courses).
By Anne Estoppey
Very helpful if you only have some insights in GitHub, but never really used it! (or failed to do so...) Thanks :-)
By Srinivas M
This course is very nice, precise, provides enough basics to start working with Git, GitHub
By Mike Coon
Very good course a couple of place where I got lost and I remain sketchy on some aspects of the github processes.

PROS
The course was very good. The instructor obviously knew the subject matter very well. This course was on GIT & GITHUB. I now feel comfortable with being able to begin the process of working with GIT.
This was the reason I opted for this course over the others and I was not disappointed with my selection.
The only cons...
Not sure when this course was created but pushing a new branch did not work as presented in the video. Trying to push the new branch with just git push... did not work.... ( this was how the tutorial said to do it ) I had to use.... git push --set-upstream origin about-feature
And, the only other thing that was missing was.... pulling down a previous commit. I am not sure how to access a previous version of my code. I'll be googling for this now and can't imagine it will be too hard but it would have been a soup to nuts tutorial if this was part of it.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this course.
Thank you very much,
Sincerely,
Bob McClellan
