Git and GitHub: Professional Version Control From First Commit to Enterprise Scale
Git is the version control system that underpins virtually every professional software project on the planet. GitHub extends it with collaboration tools — pull requests, Actions, branch protection rules, and release management — that teams rely on daily. This track covers both from the ground up, treating them as the single unified workflow they are in practice, and takes you to the level where you can design branching strategies, automate CI/CD pipelines, and maintain large repositories confidently.
What You Will Learn
You will start with repository setup and the essential local Git commands, then move to working with remote repositories on GitHub. From there the track covers advanced branching strategies, pull request workflows, and code review collaboration. Later courses address release management and tagging, security best practices, resolving conflicts and advanced merging, and Git hooks for automating local tasks. The final stretch covers GitHub Actions for full pipeline automation, advanced Git operations such as rebase and history rewriting, and integrating Git with external tools and enterprise environments.
The Learning Path
Twelve courses span A1 through C1. The first course, Git Essentials & Repository Setup, is free and starts from zero assumptions. Levels A1 and A2 establish the local workflow and GitHub basics. Four B1 courses build branching, collaboration, release, and security skills. Three B2 courses handle conflict resolution, Git hooks, and GitHub Actions automation. The track closes at C1 with Advanced Git Operations & Maintenance and Integrating Git with Tools & Enterprise, which cover topics like git bisect, reflog, submodules, monorepo tooling, and enterprise access controls.
How It Works
Each course is split into short, hands-on lessons you complete in the built-in editor with real-time feedback and an AI tutor available whenever you get stuck. Commands are typed and run against a real Git environment so every concept is practiced, not just read.
