Master version control with Git and GitHub. Learn branching, merging, pull requests, and collaboration workflows.
This free Git and GitHub course takes you from zero to confident with version control, one of the most essential skills in modern software development and collaborative work. Starting with the fundamentals of why version control exists and how to install and configure Git, you progress through core concepts like the staging area, meaningful commits, and undoing changes. The branching module then shows you how to create isolated workspaces for new features, merge them back into your main codebase, and resolve conflicts when they arise.
The second half of the course shifts to GitHub and team-based workflows. You will learn to push and pull between local and remote repositories, create and review pull requests with proper PR templates, and apply real collaboration models including the Feature Branch Workflow, Gitflow, Trunk-Based Development, and Forking Workflow. Advanced lessons cover interactive rebase, cherry picking, and stashing so you can keep a clean, readable project history.
Whether you are a student building your first portfolio, a professional joining a development team, or anyone who wants to track and share code reliably, this course gives you a practical foundation. It is completely free, requires no prior experience with version control, and covers GitHub features such as Issues, Projects, Actions, and Releases. Complete the course and pass the final exam to earn a certificate of completion you can share on LinkedIn or add to your resume.
