Overview

The Git Fundamentals for Engineers training course teaches attendees how to use Git at a fundamental level and includes plenty of hands-on exercises managing repositories, creating and merging branches, properly backing out of mistakes, and getting comfortable resolving conflicts. This course gives students a solid grasp of how Git works, helping reduce the typical “fear of blowing something up” in a Git project. Students consistently complete the class with a very high level of confidence with Git.

This Git course can use the repository hosting platform of your choice, such as GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, or Azure DevOps. Students will learn how to leverage such a platform to share changes, synchronize their branches, collaborate through pull/merge requests, review code, and other collaboration best practices.

Reviews

The course was informative, and I learnt a new skill. The instructor was up to the point.

I liked the pace of the course. I like that I have more than instance to use the lab.

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.

Great company -- easy to sign up and very organized. Loved my teacher and class overall.
