What You'll Build​

By the end of the course, your final project will include:

  • A Git repository with a clean, professional history
  • Branches following the Git Flow model
  • Pull Requests with documented code reviews
  • A collaborative workflow simulation between several developers
  • A README.md with contribution guidelines
  • GitHub Actions automating basic checks on each PR

Frequently Asked Questions​

Do I need to know how to code to take this course?

No. Git works on any type of files (code, text, configurations). The examples use simple scripts, but no programming knowledge is required to follow the course. Basic terminal skills are enough.

What's the difference between Git and GitHub?

Git is a local tool installed on your computer that tracks changes to your files. GitHub is an online platform that hosts Git repositories and adds collaboration features (Pull Requests, Issues, Actions, etc.). Git can work without GitHub, but GitHub requires Git.

Is Git still relevant in 2026?

Absolutely. Git is used by over 90% of professional development teams worldwide. It's the undisputed standard for version control. Knowing Git is as fundamental as knowing how to type for a developer.

Can I use GitLab or Bitbucket instead of GitHub?

Yes! The Git concepts (branches, merge, rebase) are identical regardless of the platform. The course focuses on GitHub for its hands-on sections, but all concepts apply directly to GitLab, Bitbucket, or any other Git host.

How long to become proficient with Git?

After completing this course (~30 hours), you'll have a solid foundation covering 95% of day-to-day needs. Mastery comes with practice: plan on 2-3 weeks of regular use on real projects to feel fully confident.
