Description
Git, is the most popular version control system and having this tool in your toolbelt is crucial if you practice software development professionally.

It may be intimidating to work with a command line tool. But in this course, we will practice a lot and will learn the commands in meaningful use cases. In the end of this course, you won't be having the fear of making mistake when working with git.
