The Complete Git & GitHub course

Welcome to Git and GitHub Course.

Git is a distributed version control tool that can manage a development project's source code history, while GitHub is a cloud based platform built around the Git tool.

The concept of a centralized system is that it works on a Client-Server relationship. The repository is located at one place and provides access to many clients. Whereas, in a Distributed System, every user has a local copy of the repository in addition to the central repo on the server side

The . git folder contains all the information that is necessary for your project in version control and all the information about commits, remote repository address, etc.

Find out how easy it is to push local changes to a remote repository.

Check the Result of your first push from Git to GitHub on your project.

You can trace changes to lines in a file and discover how parts of the file evolved over

A fork is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.

Deleting a repository. You can delete any repository or fork if you're either an organization owner or have admin permissions for the repository or fork.

You can invite users to become collaborators to your personal repository.

Edit and update files in your project then push the update to GitHub repository.

All the collaborators on GitHub project can edit files in relation about the permission they have.
