The course shows how to use Git, the popular open-source version
control software, to manage changes to source code and text files. Using
a step-by-step approach, author Kevin Skoglund presents the commands
that enable efficient code management and reveals the fundamental
concepts behind version control systems and the Git architecture.
Discover how to track changes to files in a repository, review previous
edits, and compare versions of a file; create branches to test new ideas
without altering the main project; and merge those changes into the
project if they work out. The course begins by demonstrating version
control in a single-user, standalone context, before exploring how
remote repositories allow users to collaborate on projects effectively.
