Learn the essential Git commands and real-world GitHub workflows used by modern development teams.
What you'll learn
Master Core Git Commands and Concepts
Work with Branches, Merges, and Rebases Like a Pro
Collaborate with GitHub in Real-World Scenarios
Recover, Undo, and Manage Git Projects with Confidence
Requirements
No prior Git or GitHub experience needed - this course starts from the absolute basics. A computer with internet access - Windows, macOS, or Linux are all supported. Basic familiarity with the command line is helpful but not required - all commands are explained clearly. Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is recommended for exercises and challenges, especially when using the built-in Git GUI.
Description
Course Description:This hands-on course is your complete guide to mastering Git and GitHub, starting from absolute basics and progressing through real-world, production-level workflows. You'll not only learn how Git works-you'll use it in structured projects, exercises, and challenges that mimic how modern development teams operate.Section 1: Git Fundamentals & SetupYou'll begin by understanding what Git is and why it's essential for version control. In this section, you'll:Install and configure Git globally and locally.Learn how Git tracks code history and changes.Explore critical commands like git init, git status, git add, and git commit.Understand the difference between tracked, untracked, staged, and modified files.Build your first Git project from scratch using the command line and VSCode.Section 2: Exploring Commits & HistoryDig deeper into Git internals and learn how to:View detailed commit logs using git log and git log --oneline.Navigate between commits with git checkout .Understand HEAD and the concept of a detached HEAD.Safely recover lost commits using git reflog.Section 3: Branching, Merging & Rebase WorkflowsYou'll learn how teams manage parallel workstreams with branches and bring everything back together:Create, switch, and delete branches.Perform Fast-Forward and Three-Way merges.Use git rebase to create a clean, linear history.Compare merge vs rebase visually using Git log and VSCode GUI.Resolve merge conflicts manually and understand common scenarios.Section 4: Advanced Git TechniquesGo beyond the basics and unlock Git's full power
erform soft and hard resets (git reset --soft, --hard, --mixed).Unstage and discard changes using git restore and git checkout.Clean untracked files with git clean.Use .gitignore to exclude sensitive and temporary files.Stash in-progress work and safely apply it later (git stash).Section 5: Commit Squashing & Cherry-PickingUnderstand how to craft clean and focused commit histories:Use git rebase -i to squash commits interactively.Learn how to apply individual commits from other branches using git cherry-pick.Practice real scenarios that simulate production cherry-picking across cloned repositories.Section 6: Working with GitHubPush your local skills into the cloud and collaborate like a pro:Create a GitHub repo and connect via SSH.Push and pull branches, configure remotes, and set up upstream tracking.Learn the difference between git fetch and git pull.Use GitHub UI and VSCode to publish branches and manage repos.Section 7: Real-World GitHub WorkflowsWork through end-to-end collaborative GitHub challenges:Clone repositories and simulate multiple developer environments (dev1, dev2, dev3).Create and merge branches using pull requests.Perform merge and rebase-based strategies for integrating code.Explore GitHub branching models and workflow decisions.Practice Challenges ThroughoutEach section includes exercises and challenges to reinforce concepts:Build isolated Git projects for hands-on repetition.Simulate team-based workflows using multiple local environments.Apply real-world recovery tools like reflog, stash, and cherry-pick.Who this course is for
Complete beginners who want to learn Git and GitHub from scratch - no prior version control experience required. Self-taught developers and coding bootcamp graduates looking to solidify their understanding of real-world Git workflows. Frontend, backend, and full stack developers who want to collaborate more effectively using branches, pull requests, and remote repositories. Students preparing for technical interviews or internships, where Git knowledge is often expected. Engineers working in teams who want to confidently handle merge conflicts, rebase cleanly, and contribute to shared codebases. Freelancers and solo developers who want to manage personal projects using Git and publish them on GitHub with best practices.
