Version control refers to the tracking and traceability of changes. It is, in a way, akin to the use of a bookmark in a book, added by a reader, to mark the point to return to when they resume reading. In version control, a metaphorical bookmark marks a reference to a snapshot of the code base. Git is a version control tool. Using Git, you can make, track, retrieve, and share changes on a repository. GitHub is a hosting service on which a repository resides.
This is a two-day course that will provide you a thorough understanding of what version control is, why it's necessary, and how it lends itself to application development and version management. With thorough explanations and interesting activities, you will learn all about using using Git and GitHub optimally.
As you progress, you'll find helpful tips and tricks, as well as useful self-assessment material, exercises, and activities to help you benchmark your progress and reinforce what you've learned. The activities have been devised to simulate real-world conditions in order to equip you with the necessary skills to accelerate software deployment while still retaining security, portability, and affordability. By the end of the course, you will have the right skills to safeguard your application and ensure its speedy development.
