Git Essentials
Git is the secret tool that almost every developer uses but nobody talks about it. It’s such a commonplace tool that it’s rarely mentioned on job postings because it’s assumed that, no matter what your skill level is, that you know how to use Git and GitHub.
To learn how to use Git and GitHub does not take 10, 8 or even 6 hours. The truth is Git is a complicated program, but using Git is easy!
There are a number of commands you’ll use every day, and a few other commands you’ll see once or twice a week. Beyond that, you would be learning advanced Git that you’ll never use, ever. Don’t get stuck learning tools and commands that you’ll never use. By taking this course, you are going to learn all the important aspects of Git and GitHub, and you won’t be wasting 6+ hours learning things you’ll never use.
This course is designed to teach you Git the way it’s used every day by a developer who uses it every day.
