Description

Git is a DVCS (Distributed Version Control System) developed by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel. This course explores the strategies, techniques, and technologies to adopt for controlling the versioning of source code using Git. We will analyze all the necessary commands for team-based project development, all procedures for managing repositories, and all the tools for monitoring the progress of the various branches that compose the project.

During the course, both the Git CLI and various graphical clients will be used. All exercises will mainly focus on the Git CLI. Where possible, a specific Git GUI will also be used to perform the same operations. The goal is to help the learner become comfortable with the Git CLI so that they are not dependent on a specific GUI. The concepts learned will be reusable regardless of the client used in daily activities.
