The Git & GitHub Bootcamp

Colt Steele's Git bootcamp gives version control its own learning space rather than squeezing it into a development course introduction. It connects the everyday add-and-commit loop to branches, merges, remotes, and Git's internal objects. Understanding that model makes unfamiliar repository situations less mysterious.

What you will learn

• Create commits and inspect changes
• Work with branches and resolve merge conflicts
• Coordinate local and remote repositories
• Understand recovery tools and Git's object model

Who this suits

Useful for a developer who has been using Git by memorizing commands, or a beginner preparing to collaborate. You can practice without a large application. The key requirement is a willingness to inspect repository state before issuing a command that changes history.

Before you enroll

Git and GitHub solve related but different problems. Local history skills remain valuable even when the hosting interface changes. Practice recovery commands in disposable repositories first and understand the difference between changing your own history and rewriting shared history.

Paid Udemy course with a completion certificate. Git is free; GitHub account features depend on the chosen plan.

Put it into practice

Create two branches that edit the same line, resolve the conflict, and explain what each parent of the resulting merge represents.
