Course Description

Discover the fundamentals of version control with Git

This course introduces the concept of version control and highlights its benefits for software and data projects. You'll learn about Git, the popular software for implementing version control in projects, and use it to create repositories and track files.

Dive into Git's storage functionality

Discover how Git stores data through blobs, trees, and commits. Use this information to compare the state of your project at different points in time, understanding what changes have been made, by who, and when. Learn valuable tips and tricks to customize your view of a repository's history and how to undo changes to revert files!

Get control of your project's history

Mistakes happen, but with Git, you don't need to worry. You'll learn how to easily undo changes and revert files to previous states, allowing you to avoid bugs and keep driving your projects forward!
