Version Control Management
with Git

Course Description

Intensive training in using Git for tracking and managing source code changes, covering key concepts such as commits, branches, merges, conflict management, and team collaboration via platforms like GitHub or GitLab.

Who is this course for?

The course is intended for a broad audience, including:
• Beginner/intermediate developers who want to master version control.
• Technical project managers to better collaborate with their teams
• Technical teams adopting Git for collaborative work
• System/DevOps administrators managing configurations.
• Students and apprentices wishing to acquire version control skills with Git

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of information systems.




Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basics of Git and its distributed model: learn fundamental concepts, the difference between a local and remote repository, and versioning principles.
• Master essential commands: create a repository, manage files (add, commit, status), explore history (log, diff), and use remote repositories (push, pull, clone).
• Manage branches effectively: create, merge, and delete branches to work on features or fixes in isolation.
• Collaborate on shared projects: work with remote repositories (GitHub, GitLab, etc.), synchronize code with fetch and merge, and resolve conflicts independently.
• Adopt best practices: structure commits, write clear messages, clean up history (rebase, squash), and avoid common mistakes.
