Overview
Git is a Distributed Version Control System and is arguably the most popular and important VCS within our industry today. However, many people still find it daunting. This is especially true when moving from centralised version control systems such as Subversion (SVN). In this fast-paced course, delegates are introduced to the most important parts of Git while all along the way getting exposed to what is really happening under the hood. This reinforces an understanding that removes the cloud of fear that is sometimes associated with Git. This is a great standalone course or can be bolted onto another delivery.
