    About the Course

    In this course, you’ll learn how to keep track of the different versions of your code and configuration files using a popular version control system
    (VCS) called Git. We'll also go through how to set up an account with a service called GitHub so that you can create your very own remote
    repositories to store your code and configuration. Throughout this course, you'll learn about Git's core functionality so you can understand how
    and why it’s used in organizations. We’ll look into both basic and more advanced features, like branches and merging. We'll demonstrate how
    having a working knowledge of a VCS like Git can be a lifesaver in emergency situations or when debugging. And then we'll e...

    Awesome and well balanced course for working professionals. Clear explanations and coverage of typical use case scenarios. The labs were manageable and did not require a lot of time to complete them.

    The course was perfectly designed to understand SCMs. The only thing where I see an opportunity for improvement is that the course pace was a bit fast. It could be really great if it would be slowed down and have more examples included so that it would be even better to understand. Overall it was a wonderful course and a wonderful experience. Hoping to apply the same in my current role! Cheers!

    The contents are thorough and give good reasonable examples

    The practice parts are also well rounded and very clear with the instructions except for a problem with authentication for github, which has deprecated the method on the notes.

    Thisis likely a dealbreaker for anyone without some higher level knowledge as it requires changing several commands and is generally mor einvolved.

    Content is good. Instructor is exceptional.

    Qwiklabs testing is buggy, lots of issues. Thanks to contributors in the Discussion Forum for insight and help with issues that should have been rectified months ago and are still prevalent. A clear instruction set should be written without all the conversational text. Could be so much better. Come on Google !

    This is a good intro to git fundementals. Would be better if it included some group exercises on how to deal with merge conflicts/real pull requests. Content in lectures is very good, quizzes are pretty decent, labs are not very high quality. Probably worth your time if you have never used git before, otherwise there are better ways to learn

    The "Introduction to Git and GitHub" course provided a solid foundation in version control. Clear explanations and hands-on labs made concepts easy to grasp. Loved the collaboration section. Wish there was more on advanced topics, and pacing occasionally felt rushed. Recommended for beginners seeking a strong start in Git and GitHub.

    This course is generally well-prepared. Many essential features of Git and GitHub are taught and some aspects of software development are also mentioned.

    However, the training and testing systems for learners are not robust. I would personally like the course to have more and harder assignments.

    The content is great, the instructor is super, one thing that I didn't like is that the explanations didn't engage graphical illustrations especially in the merge conflicts part, it would be nice to update and a tree like graphs to clarify how commits and branches split in routes, Thank you!

    Good introductory course to git and github. Week 3 and week 4 could be improved by making the colleague changes and github changes together with the students, so it is easier for them to replicate the examples in the videos. Overall, it is a good course and I've learned a lot of things.

    Excellent course with a great teacher! Unfortunately, there were some unexpected and frustrating challenges in assignments 3 and 4 due to the changed authentication procedures on GitHub since the preparation of the course, hence I believe that those assignments should be updated.

    The concepts and theory of version control system are presented in a well structured manner in this course. I have learnt a lot out of this course. On thing this course lakes is practice assignment and graded assessments are also not very intensive. Overall a good course.

    This Course is really easy to understand, and everything is well explained so you can really start with git and github even if you don't have an account already. that being said, it is a bit outdated, so it would be nice if the reflect that, specially on the last 2 labs.

    The technical overview of the "How" of committing to open source projects is a useful refresher, and the points on Git automation were useful. However, I would observe that having everyone sign the Google code of conduct as part of the process feels a little Orwellian.

    The explanations were clear and very easy to understand. The only problem is that graded assignments are too easy, and don't let go of your hand. They don't let the student have a chance to fail, him or her just has to follow a step by step instruction...

    One of the good courses on Coursera for learning VCS. For beginners who want to learn remote version control especially GitHub, this course is the best. Knowledge of the instructor and the way he teaches makes the course contents more interesting.

    This course was missing updated details in token authentication or it was not mentioned as an update at end of Qwicklab. I had a hard time understanding the big picture of git and its use of github and the use of CLI to work with Repositories.

    The material is a little outdated (i.e. github does have CI/CD now, default branch names have changed, 2FA is encouraged) but the basics don't change. It is a solid grounding in how to use git both locally, and via remote hosting such as GitHub.

    Overall good course. However, the assignments can be improved (as well as the tool used for the assignments). Also, I think there are some important topics that were not covered. For example, tagging. So, the course materials can be upgraded.

    It was a bit too easy. The vids/labs should have had a lot more real world hands-on examples of longer durations. Ideally we should have been teamed up too (with a bot would be fine) to simulate some of the issues faced in the real world.

    It gives a lot of practical examples and you go practicing at the same pace that the instructor explains, at the end it gets quite complex and you need to re watch the videos several times to understand or search for other resources

    This topic is good to know. I used two computers to follow along all the changes. The quizzes and assessments were not the most helpful. I did think it was cool when my work from one computer showed up perfectly on the other.

    This course helped me understanding git workflow which is super useful for collaborating with other developers and even for creating a small project. The last part was a little tricky but I will tackle it with more practice

    Challenging class. Best to take the class with a linux computer. Practice loading some code to Github before taking class. Instructor is nice. There is so much material in this class. Take as many notes as possible.

    The video lectures are great. But the quiz are too short and straightforward. Maybe some more questions to remind us the details would be better.

    Also, it would be helpful if the history tree were showed more often.
