About this course
Is this course right for me?
This course is ideal for anyone new to Git version control, or anyone who is familiar with Git but could do with a stronger understanding.
Objectives and outcomes
With the Clearvision Git Essentials course, you’ll become an expert at using Git for day-to-day development.
The instructor will show you how Git really works, not just the commands you’ll need but the impact on both your local and remote repository.
You’ll learn about branches and strategy and work with the index to manipulate code in your local repository and perform merges while solving conflicts. Finally, you’ll dive deep into Git’s internal set up so that collaborating with other users won’t come as a surprise, preparing you for whatever your colleagues do next.
