Git: Managing Source Codes with a Decentralized Version Management Software

Master Git to manage source code, branches, collaboration, and remote repositories in development projects.


In this training you will see how to become autonomous in your use of Git. Whether you work alone at home locally, or in a team on a common project. You will see the basic notions (command, repository, commit....), as well as branches or conflict resolution. GIT represents a radical change in open source development because it allows collaboration without coordination: two developers can work simultaneously on a piece of code and make changes without paying attention to what the other is doing! GIT keeps track of who made what change and when.

Objectives

To provide the knowledge and skills required to effectively generate source code using the Git manager.

Is it for you ?

Developers and architects.

Prerequisite

Be able to use a command-line interface (CLI).

Content

Working on an IT project (of any complexity) requires collaboration with other developers. If each person is responsible for his or her own code, the work of some can/should have an impact on that of others so that in the end the whole thing corresponds to the expected deliverable and the program works. The whole issue is therefore to succeed in working together without necessarily coordinating and to be able to keep track of the work done to go back if necessary.

Git is the perfect tool for this since it was designed precisely to manage versioning during programming. It is particularly popular in organizations and services where code is developed. 

Introduction to Git

Git, the version control software of a computer project. Or how to keep track of your work in order to correct errors or easily go back to a previous version. Git facilitates the management and deployment of computer projects, whether you are alone or several. Above all, it allows everyone to move forward on their deliverables, on the one hand without depending on the progress of others, and on the other hand without fear of losing or altering the work already done. We will see the logic of the work cycle, how to start a project and use the branches properly and of course the sharing. 

Installing the tools

  • Install and configure Git on your machine
  • Save the history of source code modifications (and go back to a previous version if necessary, for debugging for example)
  • The advantage of remote repositories. GitHub, the online platform to host Git repositories. Understand the differences between the two tools and how they interact.
  • Starting a new project
