Overview

Uplatz offers this comprehensive Git and GitHub course that includes end-to-end concepts and implementation of Git. It is a self-paced video course. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

Git and GitHub

First developed back in 2005, Git is an extremely popular version control system that is at the heart of a wide variety of high-profile projects. Git is installed and maintained on your local system (rather than in the cloud) and gives you a self-contained record of your ongoing programming versions. It can be used completely exclusive of any cloud-hosting service — you don’t even need internet access, except to download it.

Git is an open-source, version control tool created in 2005 by developers working on the Linux operating system; GitHub is a company founded in 2008 that makes tools which integrate with git. You do not need GitHub to use git, but you cannot use GitHub without using git.

Git helps us manage our project files. One of the primary things that git does and also the primary reason it exists is to keep track of the entire history of things that you are working on. This is especially helpful for software developers because when you are working on a project you first build a basic version of it and then try to improve it by adding new features (or) just experiment with things. This whole process of experimenting with new features is incredibly error prone and you might wanna revert back to your original code.

Git is easy to learn and has a lightning fast performance. It outclasses other Version Control Systems like SubVersion with features like cheap and local branching, convenient staging areas and multiple workflows. Given that coding relies so heavily on exact syntax, the naming convention surrounding programming languages and resources is anything but intuitive. Java and JavaScript are about as closely related as ham and hamster, and Python’s logo may be an image of intertwined snakes, but it’s actually named after the Monty Python sketch comedy group. HTML and CSS are acronyms that describe what the code actually is or does (HyperText Markup Language and Cascading Style Sheets, respectively), while C++ describes its origins.

Git is a distributed version control system for tracking source code changes during the development of software. It was created to help programmers coordinate their work, but it may also be used to track changes in any group of files. Speed, data integrity, and support for dispersed, non-linear processes are among its objectives. GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service that includes all of Git's distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) capabilities as well as its own.

In this Git course by Uplatz, you'll learn how to use Git, a popular version control system (VCS), to keep track of multiple versions of your code and configuration files. We'll also go through how to setup an account with a service called GitHub so that you can create your very own remote repositories to store your code and configuration.

You'll learn about Git's essential capabilities in this course so you can grasp how and why it's utilised in businesses. We'll investigate both fundamental and complex features such as branches and merging. We'll show how knowing how to use a version control system (VCS) like Git may save your life in an emergency or when troubleshooting. Then we'll look at how to utilise a VCS to collaborate with others via remote repositories like those offered by GitHub. You'll be able to preserve your code history in Git and work with others in GitHub at the conclusion of this course, where you'll also start building your own portfolio!

Description

Git and GitHub – course curriculum

  • In this module, you'll be introduced to the concept of version control, which will make managing and rolling back your code look super easy. You’ll learn how to differentiate between files and the tools at your disposal to make this happen. Next, you'll be introduced to Git and how you can leverage that platform to improve your coding abilities. Once you’ve got a grasp on what Git is, you’ll install it and start using it to create and clone code repositories. Last up, you’ll deep dive into Git in order to get more familiar with the different tools and commands it has to offer.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
