Description

This is all about high level overview on Complete Git & GitHub both for the beginners and advanced software professionals.

If any one wants to develop their Open Source Project Or wants to contribute to the Open Source Project then learning Git and GitHub is must. Even if you are a student and wants to become a software developer Or website designer then learning Git and GitHub will help you achieve your goal with well designed infrastructure to get contribution for your project from different developers.

Nowadays many professional developers or designers needs to know how to work with Git and GitHub. Git allows us to record different versions of our project and lets us go back in time and check previous states of the project. As for the GitHub, it’s an online service where we can share our code to the world and also it allows us to collaborate with different developers.

This course consists different sections. We will start from Git basics, where you can learn about how to install Git. We will guide how to use the commands on windows mainly, we will create our first local repository, and you will see how to save different versions of the project, as the snapshots, using commits.

Then we will show you how to go back in time and check the previous states of the project, update them Or delete with help of git checkout, git revert and git reset.

Course Details:

You will learn all these below skills in detail:

Practiacally you will learn

  1. Initialize new Git repository
  2. Make changes, add them to staging area and commit
  3. Working with command prompt to master your CMD Skills
  4. Complete guide on visual studio code editor
  5. Create branches, checkout branches and merge branches
  6. Perform fast-forward and 3-way merges of the branches
  7. Resolve merge conflicts
  8. Move into detached HEAD state and make experimental commits there
  9. Perform rebasing of the branches
  10. Connect local and remote repositories
  11. Pushing, fetching and pulling operations
  12. Open Pull Request
  13. Merge Pull Request
  14. Merging with and without merge conflicts

After getting a solid knowledge on Git, we will learn the basics of GitHub. Then we will show you how to push local repository to remote repository and pull the remote repository to our local machine. Then we will show you how to work with one of the greatest features of Git, which is branching. We will learn about how to deal with branches locally and also, remotely. We will show you how to merge branches with different methods, and also, how to deal with merge conflicts.

Then we will see about forking and contributing. We will learn about how to copy someone else’s remote repository on your GitHub account, how to clone it to your local computer and how to contribute to the original project. Finally, we will discuss about collaborating on GitHub. We will go through some really important topics, such as, how to set up a collaboration team, how to define different rules for collaborators and much more.
