Introduction to Git FAQs

It covers branching strategies, conflict resolution, GitHub collaboration, and best practices to ensure smooth teamwork.

It covers the use of Large File Storage (LFS) for working with large datasets.

The course introduces basic CLI commands but focuses on practical Git usage, making it accessible for beginners while gradually introducing more advanced concepts.

Many people who use Git are taught that it’s only pull/add/commit/push---which severely limits the effectiveness of the tool. This course provides a solid foundation and an understanding of a much wider set of commands.
