Course Description

     Git is a DevOps tool used for source code management. It is a free and open-source version control system used to handle small to very large projects efficiently. Git is used to tracking changes in the source code, enabling multiple developers to work together on non-linear development.

Course Outline For GiT

1. Introduction to Git and version control

  • Understanding Version Control Systems (VCS): Why they are necessary, the differences between local, centralized, and distributed VCS, and the advantages of using Git.
  • What is Git? Exploring the core concepts of Git, its architecture, and how it tracks changes in files and directories.
  • Git vs. GitHub: Distinguishing between Git as the version control system and platforms like GitHub and GitLab which host Git repositories and provide collaboration features.
  • Installation and Setup: Learning how to install Git on your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) and configuring your Git environment. 

2. Working with Git locally

  • Creating and Initializing Repositories: Setting up new Git repositories and converting existing projects to use Git.
  • The Git Workflow: Understanding the core workflow of modifying files, adding them to the staging area, and committing changes to the local repository.
  • Basic Git Commands: Mastering commands like git init, git add, git commit, git status, git diff, and git log.
  • Inspecting and Undoing Changes: Learning to review project history with git log, compare changes with git diff, and undo unwanted modifications using commands like git reset, git revert, and git checkout. 

3. Branching and merging

  • Understanding Branches: Learning what branches are, their importance in isolating development efforts, and how to create them.
  • Switching and Managing Branches: Using commands like git branch and git checkout to navigate and manage different branches.
  • Merging Branches: Integrating changes from one branch into another, including handling potential merge conflicts.
  • Merging Techniques: Exploring different merging approaches like fast-forward merges and 3-way merges. 

4. Working with remote repositories and collaboration

  • Remote Repositories: Understanding how to connect local repositories with remote ones hosted on platforms like GitHub.
  • Pushing and Pulling: Uploading local commits to the remote repository (git push) and downloading changes from the remote to the local repository (git pull).
  • Forking and Cloning: Learning how to create a copy of a remote repository (forking) and downloading a copy to your local machine (cloning).
  • Pull Requests (PRs): Using pull requests for proposing changes, code reviews, and collaborating on projects.
  • Collaboration Workflows: Understanding different team workflows, including Feature Branch Workflow, Forking Workflow, and GitFlow Workflow. 

5. Advanced Git concepts and tools (optional)

  • Rewriting History: Using commands like git rebase to rearrange, combine, or edit commits.
  • Stashing Changes: Temporarily saving changes without committing them using git stash.
  • Git Hooks: Automating tasks during various stages of the Git workflow.
  • Troubleshooting: Addressing common Git problems like merge conflicts and detached HEAD states.
  • Integration with IDEs and Tools: Exploring how Git integrates with popular development environments and tools.
