Git & GitHub: From Beginner to Real-World Workflow

About Course

Learn Git and GitHub through a practical, real-world workflow built around the UTA Retail Corporation project.

This self-paced course takes you from version-control fundamentals through repositories, commits, change management, branching, merging, GitHub remote repositories, pull requests, collaboration, merge-conflict resolution, and a complete end-to-end Git and GitHub workflow.

Instead of memorizing isolated commands, you will see how Git is used in a real technical project and repeat the same workflows yourself through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice.

This course is designed for beginners, aspiring DevOps Engineers, Linux Administrators, Cloud Engineers, developers, career changers, and technical professionals who want practical Git and GitHub skills.
