Git – Version Control Systems (GIT)

Programming

Git is the most widely used version control system for source code and documentation. This course covers essential Git workflows and hands-on practice, emphasizing command-line and GUI operations, branching and merging, and collaboration with remote repositories.

We focus on practical scenarios: setting up workflows like Git Flow and GitHub Flow, resolving conflicts, and integrating Git with CI/CD tools. Participants learn to automate tasks, review code via pull/merge requests, and use GUI tools daily.

THIS TRAINING COURSE WILL HELP YOU:

  • Understand version control principles and benefits
  • Use common Git commands and read command help
  • Work effectively with branches and resolve conflicts
  • Use GitHub and GitLab, manage pull/merge requests
  • Integrate Git with CI/CD and automate routine tasks

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Developers who haven't used Git or use it lightly
  • DevOps engineers and testers in the development cycle
  • IT analysts, technical writers, and project managers
  • Anyone wanting to learn best practices for team code collaboration
