About Git and GitHub for Beginners at Work

Not sure how Git and GitHub are being used at work?

Using Git at work means that you are proficient in using it as a tool for collaboration in software development. However, it is not enough to simply know the features or commands of Git and GitHub. You need to be able to set up standard Git Flow policies for collaboration at work, and you need to be able to work seamlessly with your coworkers based on those policies.

By the end of this course, you will be able to set up and use Git Flow policies from scratch, even if you know nothing about Git and version control, and you will have the skills to follow your team's Git Flow policies and apply them to your work.

Experience how professional developers actually use Git and GitHub through a variety of scenarios and role-play the roles and situations you might encounter in the workplace. It's time for you to master Git and GitHub.

(POINT 1) You will be able to use Git and GitHub in the workplace, even if you don't know anything about Git or version control.

(POINT 2) You will be able to set up a standard Git Flow policy for collaboration at work and follow that policy to collaborate effectively with coworkers.

(POINT 3) You will learn the basics of Git and GitHub, from basic features to collaboration, through practical examples in role-specific scenarios.

(POINT 4) You will learn Git and GitHub in a variety of operating system environments, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

(POINT 5) You will learn in-depth knowledge of Git and GitHub required in the workplace as senior developers are dedicated to answering Q&As on the course.

Section 1: Git & GitHub for Team ProjectsUnderstand the need for versions and version control systems, and prepare your environment for the practice ahead.

Section 2: Learn Basic Git CommandsLearn the basic flow of source management in Git and GitHub, and explore Git's key commands for project management. You set up your project as a Git repository with practice managing a personal project with Git. You walk through the process of creating a commit of a file to version control and then pushing it to a remote repository on GitHub.

Section 3: Git Flow Learn the concept of a branch in Git and Git Flow. You build an environment for Git Flow and prepare for a team project practice. In this practice, there will be two roles: team leader and team member, and you do practice specific to each role.

Section 4: Scenario 1 - Feature DevelopmentIn the first Git Flow scenario, you create a feature branch for feature development. At a workplace, there are many requirements coming in from different teams. To effectively manage these requirements, you learn about GitHub's features, how to create and manage issues, and how to use projects boards.

Section 5: Scenario 2 - LaunchIn the second Git Flow scenario, you create a release branch for a release. When releasing a developed code version of a team's project at the workplace, you create a release branch, have it tested by the Quality Assurance (QA) team, address identified issues, and proceed with release-focused tasks. Let's try this release-focused practice.

Section 6: Scenario 3 - Hotfix

In the third Git Flow scenario, you create a hotfix branch to urgently fix a bug in a released version. The hotfix branch is a branch used for unplanned deployments, and it is created in response to an immediate issue with the stability of the deployed code. In this scenario, you practice closing a branch after resolving a critical bug in operation with a hotfix branch.
