Version Control System (VCS) is one of the most critical tools for coding and digital application development. Git is the most commonly used version control system, created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for the development of the Linux kernel. GitHub is one of the most popular Remote Repository services based on the Git platform.
In this course, we’ll explain how to use Git as a version control system and how to collaborate with other developers on GitHub.
Throughout this course, you will learn:
You’ll fully understand how Git and GitHub work with well-designed illustrations.
You’ll master 20 essential Git commands with meticulously designed practice materials.
You’ll clearly understand complex branch and commit operations through easy-to-understand guidance.
You’ll be able to collaborate with other developers through the GitHub platform.
Here is a guidance on how to use this course effectively. You can read this part later when you start to learn relevant topics.
In this course, we use various types of commands and code snippets.
You can use the code snippet below to run commands. When you move your cursor onto the top right corner, you can find the copy icon to copy the snippet.
$ git branch Branch_A
After you copy the code, paste it into your command line as shown in the video below.
You can also copy multi-line code and run the commands as shown in the video below.
You can see the command line response or output from this code snippet below.
446fa13 (HEAD -> master) Modified commit
acc4aa4 (origin/master) added .gitignore file
651e510 the first commit
You can use this code snippet below for editing code in a text editor. When you move your cursor onto the top right corner, you can find a copy icon to copy the snippet.
<!doctype html>

Throughout the course, we'll set up several practice projects. For each practice project, we'll create a project directory. We'll also create a main project directory to organize the practice directories. Here are the example directory structures that are used in this course. There are two sets of directory trees for the project owner role and the project member role.
Note: The screenshots below are taken using the Mac OS computer. The name of the parent directory for each user's home directory differs by OS.
A GitHub repository is also available for the demo code used in the practice sections. Check the link below to access the repository.
