You’ll understand the inner workings of Git, what makes it tick, and how to get the most out of it for your team. You will also learn how to collaborate with other developers on the GitHub platform.
During the course, you will get hands-on experience by completing an extensive set of exercises that will take you through realistic challenges you will face working with both Git and GitHub. This will help prepare you for using both tools in your day-to-day work life.
