A minimalist Git course.
- No marketing fluff. Just essentials.
- Concepts explained in simple English.
- Taught by a professional.
Welcome to my very simple course on Git.
If you are completely new to software engineering, this course is for you.
This is a self-paced course offering detailed written lessons with accompanying videos. In the videos, I cover the examples in the written lessons, step by step and also explain concepts in further detail.
