By the end, you'll have everything you need to know to get started using Git as a professional developer, plus a bit extra.

Great course to introduce the basics of git. Helped me to understand git and uses visualisation tools to visualise branches in real time, for your project specifically

Awesome course once again. I feel so much more comfortable working with git now and I've been using it professionally since 2016. I know I should have RTFM.

A great intro to this tool. I feel very confident in understanding how to use it in future projects.

Really liked it actually. Don't have any complains at all really (except for maybe one lesson that I felt skipped over some stuff) but in general I found this chapter incredibly easy, nice and helpful to follow along to. It was useful, I understand both the functionality and the practicalities of git now. All in all very nice (I appreciated the small jokes too).

This was entirely new for me! I had previous experience with coding and Ubuntu, but none with Git. This course gave me a great introduction and foundation!
