Git & GitHub for Teams and Open Source

Version control, branching, pull requests and code review the way real dev teams work

Ghosla Academy · Web Team

Almost every software team uses Git and GitHub, yet many students only learn to upload files. This course teaches the real workflow: small commits, feature branches, pull requests and reviews. You will practise in pairs or groups on a mini-project, learn to fix common mistakes without panic and set up your profile so your work speaks for you.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain commits, the staging area and repository history
  • Create branches, merge them and resolve merge conflicts
  • Collaborate with pull requests, reviews and issues
  • Undo mistakes safely with restore, revert and reset
  • Use GitHub Actions for a simple automated check
  • Present a clean GitHub profile to recruiters

What you build

  • Team mini-project with branches and reviewed pull requests
  • Contribution to a practice open-source repository
  • Portfolio site hosted on GitHub Pages

What you need to start

  • Basic computer skills
  • Any coding experience helps but is not required
