Curriculum

GIT Introduction & Setup

This section begins with a warm welcome and a clear explanation of the course's objectives. We then dive into essential Git terminology and provide a high-level overview of Git and Version Control Systems (VCS). This is followed by detailed, step-by-step installation guides for Git on Linux, Windows (both GUI and text-based instructions), covering all bases to get you started. The final lecture helps you connect with the course chat and tech community.

GIT Quick Start & Configuration

Here, we configure your user information within Git. You’ll then create your first Git repository, make your first commit, and learn how Git tracks changes and displays the project history using logs. This section sets the groundwork for efficient Git usage.

GIT & GitHub Integration

This module seamlessly integrates Git with GitHub. You'll learn how to create a remote repository on GitHub, set up authentication between your local machine and GitHub, create and manage branches, merge them together, and even revert to previous states within your Git history. This section establishes a smooth workflow between your local work and remote collaboration.

Git Comparisons

In this concise section, we focus on the art of comparison within Git. Learn to compare changes between your staging area and working directory, as well as between different commits in your repository’s history.

Branching & Merging

This section dives deep into branching and merging, essential concepts for collaborative development. We begin with straightforward 'happy path' merging before exploring more complex scenarios, including resolving merge conflicts using a visual merge tool. A solid foundation in branching and merging is built here.

GIT Stashing

This module introduces Git stashing, a powerful technique for saving your work-in-progress temporarily without committing. Learn how to stash changes, handle untracked files, stash pop and manage multiple stashes effectively. This is a crucial skill for managing interruptions during development.

Bonus: What's Next?

This concluding section summarizes what you've achieved and provides guidance on the next steps in your Git and GitHub journey.
