In this course we will learn Git, GitHub, and GitHub Actions.
Git is a technology that enables decentralized version control. It supports professional software development by providing each team member with the complete history of project changes on their local machine. Additionally, it facilitates the creation of branches for new functionalities. Git also allows you to revert to any previous version of the software. If something stops working, you can restore a version that functioned correctly.
GitHub enables us to share projects and collaborate with others. It’s more than just a code-sharing tool—it facilitates project discussions, task tracking, automation implementation, and more.
Finally, GitHub Actions enables us to automate various tasks in GitHub. For example, we can compile and run automated tests whenever our repository is updated. We can also automate the deployment of our applications.
Topics we’ll cover include:
- Introduction to Git
- Basic commands: init, add, commit
- Advanced commands, such as cherry-pick, rebase, and stash
- Introduction to GitHub
- Exploring GitHub features like repositories, issues, pull requests, and projects
- Introduction to GitHub Actions
- Using triggers to run our workflows
- Leveraging predefined Actions to simplify process automation
- Implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery
And much more!
By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of Git, GitHub, and GitHub Actions, empowering you to manage version control, collaborate effectively, and automate workflows with confidence. Whether you’re new to these tools or looking to enhance your skills, this course will provide you with the knowledge and practical experience to be proficient in modern software development. Let’s get started!
