Course Outline
Course Introduction and Overview provides an introduction to this course and the Git source control system and sets the stage for the rest of the course.
After the introduction, the first thing we do is Git Installation for both Windows and Mac.
Quick Start a very quick (15 minutes), hands-on introduction to Git. We start off by signing up for GitHub, creating a repository there, the makiing a local copy (clone), local changes (add/commit) and then update GitHub with our changes (push).
In Basic Commands, we walk through all the foundational commands needed to start a new project managed by Git (or enable Git for an existing project) all the way through making commits, including common file operations like moving and deleting files. We also cover how to exclude the wrong files from accidentally being committed and how to review your repository’s history.
With a strong foundation in place, we explore ways to make Comparisons in Git, including all the different local states, between commits, and between local and remote repositories.
We give great attending to Branching and Merging in Git. We start off with the simple “happy path” and learn about “Fast-Forward” merges and how to control them. The we walk through common “automatic” merges. Finally, we cause trouble on purpose so we can step through resolving conflicting merges with our visual merge tool.
With a strong foundation in branching and merging, we will then cover a more complex topic, Rebasing. In that section, we cover several rebasing examples, including how to resolve a rebase conflict.
In the Stashing section, we save our work-in-progress while we attend to more pressing issues, then pick up where we left off after that.
NEW: In the Tagging section, we mark important milestones or releases within our project. We also use those tags later for comparing differences between important milestones. We also look at how to use tags within GitHub.
All tools have installation and configuration sections to ensure no one is left behind.
Course Features
Presentations provide audio/video training of conceptual ideas. Since few like slide-ware presentations, slide-presentations are kept to a minimum.
Screencasts provide a video of the instructor’s computer system with any actions, commands, or screens displayed and narrated. There is nearly 4 hours of screencast based video training in order to step through each command or action in sufficient detail.
Several attachments and document lectures throughout the course provide supplemental information, illustrations, or other reference material.
Moving Forward
This course will expand periodically to include more topics, supporting materials and bonus content! Some content may be in direct response to student feedback or discussions — so get engaged with the course discussions feature!
Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in using source control and specifically Git
- Software engineers, developers, programmers new to Git
- IT Managers or technical leads considering Git for version control on their teams
- Freelancers or other creative professionals

The course is not updated. A few commands have changed since the lecture videos were recorded. Also, it lacks a bit of explanation on why you would do certain things.
Nandhakumar M –
It was too good to get the knowledge about the git. Some practical definition has also should have been given for rebasing, stashing and tagging.

Alexandros Karykas –
Very good explanations of the basic concepts of Git. Lots of examples and hands on practice. Everything is great except from the last section (12) that needs to be recorder again or be removed. I would give one more star if not for this section.
Tarun Kumar Rathore –
great explanation and really value what you expense for this course. professional can start their work by just doing Basic Git commans.
Ehab Ahmed –
I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot from Jason by following the use cases and doing all the exercises.
Manuel Arturo Silva Velasquez –
Muy bien, la verdad bastante repetitivo, pero si lo vas siguiento, y repitiendo los pasos una y otra vez, se te va quedando todo, esta bien estructurado para ser una herramienta didactica
James Adriel Pineda –
Pretty good course some of the lectures maybe be outdated since newer functions are built in to git.
Charles W Sommers –
Easy to understand speaker; crisp voice; focused videos; good examples; good sequence
Mauricio Monroy –
I’ve heard about GIT before I took the course, but didn’t really know what it was nor how it worked. I understand now not only what it does, but also the importance of having versions of your work available to you.
Stephanie Asherin –
I have had some exposure to Git at my workplace. I needed a course to further understand Git processes and how to streamline my workflow.
