Course Description

Welcome to the complete Git Version Control Start-up Guide. You may be a programmer, a Content Writer, or an Article Writer, a Novelist... Anyway, you have to deal with a lot of content which you will update periodically throughout the time. And the problem is that when you want to change something which you have already done previously then you have to compare the different versions and try to make changes.

If you are a software engineer, you need to work on a single project with multiple team members, maybe they are in different locations, maybe in different countries, or on different continents, and you have to work with each other. You will be working on the same project, and the same file sometimes, and that time also managing different versions of documents will become a big problem because most of the energy, time and effort will be wasted in managing the documents and comparing them and merging them together to form the final document.

To tackle these problems, Version Control Systems come to the rescue. Version Control Systems are very helpful in tracking the changes that you make to a document or a program or having the changes and files kept in track kept in track between the team members working for the same goal, for the same project. The time, effort, the energy you spent to have the documents aligned or you want to revert back to the document or you want to collaborate between the team members working on the same project and the same document will be very less or even zero. That is you don't have to spend any time and effort for managing the documents between the teams and merging them.

So it's very important and very useful to have your project or files kept within a Version Control System so that you can revert back to any version that you saved before at any time. Or even if you revert back, you can go beyond that point and get the latest version of the repository.

In software companies that are dealing with medium-scale or large-scale projects, the team will have the project files inside a Version Control System and they will work within the Version Control System. The most popular of the Version Control Systems used around the world is Git.

So we will be dealing with Git's different commands, different functionalities of Git and also GitHub which is the most popular hosted Git service, which is being used by companies all around the world.

So all together this will be a very valuable course for you to get started with the git-based version control system and working with Git Hub which is the most popular git service provider in the world.

While joining a company, of course, they will be asking you if you are familiar with working with the git environment you can confidently answer them that "Yes I am" after doing this course. This will add a really good value to your profile.

And we will be providing you with a completion certificate by the end of this course. You can keep it within your profile so that you will be adding more value to your profile. So see you soon in the classroom. Let's get started with the git journey. Thank you !!
