Description
Git & GitHub for Beginners: Stop Losing Code, Start Collaborating Confidently
Every professional developer uses Git—but most tutorials drown you in theory before you’ve even committed your first file. This course flips the script: you’ll learn by doing, fixing real-world problems like “I broke my code—how do I go back?” and “How do I work with a team without overwriting their work?”
What You’ll Master
- Core Git workflow—init, add, commit, push, pull
- Branching & merging—experiment safely without breaking main code
- Resolving merge conflicts—the #1 fear of new Git users
- GitHub collaboration—forks, pull requests, code reviews
- .gitignore—keep secrets and build files out of version control
- Undoing mistakes—reset, revert, checkout like a pro
Real Projects You’ll Simulate
- Contribute to an open-source project on GitHub
- Recover from a “disaster commit” using reflog
- Manage feature branches for a team of 3 developers
- Use GitHub Issues and Projects for task tracking
Why This Course Stands Out
- No terminal fear—we explain every command in plain English
- Visual learning—diagrams show how Git’s internal graph works
- Common pitfalls covered—like accidentally committing node_modules
- GitHub Desktop optional—learn CLI first, GUI later
Who Should Take This?
- Self-taught coders working solo (but ready to collaborate)
- Bootcamp grads preparing for technical interviews
- Students submitting code assignments via GitHub
- Freelancers needing to manage client repositories
Your Career Starts with Version Control
Not knowing Git is the #1 reason junior devs get stuck. This course removes that barrier—so you can contribute from day one.
