What You Will LearnTransport your work to a remote repository in a centralized mannerExperiment with your code without affecting functional code filesExplore some tools used to migrate to Git from other versioning systems without losing your development historyUnderstand the Git data model and how you can navigate the database with simple commandsDebug with Git and use various techniques to find faulty commitsCustomize Git behavior system-wide, on a per-user, per-repository, and per-file basisMaster administering and setting up Git repositories, configuring access, finding and recovering from repository errors, and performing repository maintenanceChose a workflow and configure/set up support for the chosen workflowIn DetailGit is one of the most popular types of Distributed Version Control System. Since its inception, it has attracted skilled developers due to its robust, powerful, and reliable features. Like most powerful tools, Git can be hard to approach for the newcomers. However, this learning path will help you overcome this fear and become adept at all the basic and advanced tasks in Git.
This course starts with an introduction to version control systems before you delve deeply into the essentials of Git. This serves as a primer for the topics to follow such as branching and merging, creating and managing a GitHub personal repository, and fork and pull requests. You'll also learn how to migrate from SVN using Git tools or TortoiseGit and migrate from other VCSs, concluding with a collection of resources, links, and appendices.
As you progress on to the next module, you will learn how you can automate the usual Git processes by utilizing the hook system built into Git. It also covers advanced repository management, including different options to rewrite the history of a Git repository before you discover how you can work offline with Git, how to track what is going on behind the scenes, and how to use the stash for different purposes.
Moving forward, you will gain deeper insights into Git's architecture, its underlying concepts, behavior, and best practices. It gives a quick implementation example of using Git for a collaborative development of a sample project to establish the foundation knowledge of Git operational tasks and concepts. By exploring advanced Git practices, you will attain a deeper understanding of Git's behavior, allowing you to customize and extend existing recipes and write your own.
