Git Course

Learn how to use the most popular versioning control system (VCS) and its powerful branching concepts

Overview

The course provides Developers and IT professionals with a comprehensive understanding of Git, the Distributed Version Control System. It presents:

The Git essentials - commits, branches, differences
Branching and merging
Collaboration workflows
Advanced Git features

The participants will learn how to use Git effectively for version control and effective collaboration, through practical exercises and real-world examples. If needed, the course will also present the usage of GitOps, using GitHub.

Objectives

By the end of the course, the participants will:

Understand the Versioning Control fundamentals using Git
Perform common Git operations: committing, branching and merging
Collaborate effectively using Git workflows
Resolve conflicts and manage code history
Use advanced Git features, for improved workflows and automation
Implement best practices for using Git in team environments
Use GitOps, via GitHub (if needed)

Duration and Schedule

The minimum course duration is 2 days, 6 or 7 hours per day. If the participants want to learn how to use GitOps (Git Operations) using GitHub Actions, we highly advise allocating another day, for more thorough hands-on experience on multiple possible use-cases.

Each session is structured of a theoretical and a practical part. The ratio between the theoretical and practical components will vary depending on:

The complexity of the discussed topic
The questions and discussions related to it
The participant's interest in that topic

Target Audience

The course is ideal for:

Developers and Software Engineers looking to learn and/or improve their Versioning Control skills
IT professionals and DevOps engineers managing code repositories
Team Leaders and Project Managers overseeing collaborative development projects
Software/Solution Architects looking to learn how to integrate complex GitOps workflows in their managed projects

Prerequisites

The participants should have:

Basic understanding of software development concepts.
Familiarity with command-line interfaces - Linux/Mac Terminal, Windows PowerShell / GitBash
Experience with any programming language is beneficial, but not required
At least basic CI&CD pipelines knowledge is beneficial, but not required

Testimonials

We really enjoyed Bogdan's training sessions. It's always cool to learn and have fun while doing them. He is very patient and always prepared to offer the best solution/explanation for any problem/question. ... I also love his ability to extend the context for each chapter, offering many smart hooks to integrate the concept in a broader picture, which makes it all easier to understand.

Sorin, Crossover

Bogdan is our coach who helped shape our vision to use Java and Spring/SpringBoot in today's marketplace. He is highly skilled, extremely passionate and has a strong work ethic. With his unique and practical approach, he taught us from technology fundamentals on up to software design and best practices. He is continuously helping us progress on a growing path in software development. I enjoy working with Bogdan very much and I consider him a friend.

Andrei, Óce

When we approached Bogdan for a Java training, our goal was to up-skill our team of PL/SQL developers in order to become proficient in Java. [...] Bogdan has vast experience in the topics and very good communication and presentation skills. The pace was very good and he was very thorough in responding all questions, providing lots of related documentation for further study.

Radu, Nokia

Working with Bogdan is really inspiring and I always learn something new from his training and coaching sessions. All the training sessions are well-structured, use examples and employ hands-on components. What I enjoyed most during his training sessions is that they made me eager to learn more and to extend my knowledge. And it's not hard to do, thanks to the documentation that Bogdan provides for further reading.

Corina, Cerner

For a year and a half I've participated in various courses held by Bogdan, from Java 8, Spring, Maven to Docker. He has a good methodology, a strong background, he keeps you interested and he is open for discussions even after the training sessions, which is very important. Usually we have more questions after we start using the knowledge from the courses.

Ion, Sociéte Générale

I have participated in several training sessions held by Bogdan, including Java 8, Maven, CI & CD, Git and Spring. Every time we were thrilled to discover the information and best practices described, especially as he exemplified them with many hands-on examples. Furthermore, there were a few things present in each session that defined Bogdan's approach, namely, professionalism, vast knowledge and experience, innovative solutions, a great personality and a sense of humor.

Lavinia, Elysian

I am the self-learning type; I usually get bored at every course/training, very quickly. With this course, it was not the case. I payed attention ~95% of the time, which is very rare for me.

Ionuț, Nokia

I was pleasantly surprised by this course, being probably much more than other courses that can be found online. The presentation is very good, the materials are well structured and prepared, with many examples. Moreover, I consider the context information to be welcome, some of it was not very "settled" for me, such as the information about the application architecture, etc. Another plus regarding the training and the trainer is the fact that I managed to pay attention approximately 99% of the time, which I find amazing.
