Course Description

GitHub is a collaboration platform and a powerful version control tool. It uses Git, the most powerful open-source version control software, to track every bit of code contributions and contributors. With GitHub, projects can be kept entirely private, read-only, public or even shared as templates.

The platform offers an array of features. We will teach you the most important and basic ones in this course. It covers the GitHub essentials like setting up an account, creating repositories, branches, commits, issues and pull requests. You will create your very own open-source repository and learn GitHub's ‘pull request’ workflow - a popular way to develop and review code.

You'll also receive a brief overview of the available project management tools that will let you and your team/others collaborate on projects from anywhere and everywhere at any time, assigning and scheduling work to ensure better productivity. You don't need to know how to code, use the command line or install Git for this specific course because everything is done on the GitHub web platform. You'll only require access to the internet and a GitHub account to start utilising GitHub for your projects.
