This comprehensive beginner-friendly training programme introduces you to the essential concepts of Git and GitHub, the most widely used version control tools in the software industry. You’ll start by understanding what Git and GitHub are, why they’re critical for developers, and how they simplify collaboration and code management. The first lecture sets the stage with a clear course overview, demonstrating how version control improves productivity and ensures code quality in any project.

Next, you’ll dive into core Git and GitHub workflows through practical, step-by-step lessons. You’ll learn how to create and clone repositories, stage and commit changes, and push your work to GitHub to share it with others. The course explains branching strategies in depth, showing you how to work on features safely, merge branches, handle pull requests, and resolve conflicts with ease. You’ll also master using .gitignore files to keep repositories clean and explore forking workflows to contribute to other projects—skills that are essential for both open-source and enterprise development environments.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand how to use Git and GitHub confidently but also have the knowledge to implement version control best practices in your own projects or workplaces. The lessons are structured to give you real-world experience, ensuring you can immediately apply what you’ve learned to any coding environment.
