Git is an open-source, widely-used version control system for code repositories. Companies use Git to safely make changes to their codebases, track those changes across time, and combine or even undo changes made — if needed.
If you’re ready to start learning how to use Git, then you’ll want to check out my new learning path, Learning Git First-Hand.
This is the first Cloud Academy Learning Path that is comprised of only hands-on labs and lab challenges. It will prepare you to be able to manage Git in your own repositories, by teaching you to:
In this lab-exclusive learning path, you’ll learn everything you need to start using Git by working in several hands-on, real-world scenarios. The Learning Git First-Hand Learning Path includes four hands-on labs and one lab challenge. The hands-on labs deal with the basic principles of Git as well as some of the top commands Git users will find themselves using. The lab challenge asks users to use several of these new skills to validate their knowledge by performing basic Git functions.
You will learn to include Git branches, commits, merges, remotes, and tracking. The goal behind having a lab-only learning path was to try something new in having 100% of a student’s exposure to a new skill be practical.
There are no prerequisites for this learning path. However, a basic knowledge of the principles of code will be helpful. If you still need to master the basics, I recommend starting with the Python for Beginners Learning Path.
Meaningful cloud skills require more than book knowledge. Hands-on experience is required to translate knowledge into real-world results. We see this time and time again in studies about how people learn best — doing the actual task is key.
Hands-on labs are guided experiences to learn in live cloud environments. Think of our them like following a recipe. You’ll have a set of instructions that guide you from start to finish.
Lab challenges are non-guided skill validation to demonstrate problem-solving skills — basically, hands-on labs with the gloves off. You jump into an auto-provisioned cloud environment and are given a goal to accomplish. No instructions, no hints. To pass, you’ll have a limited amount of time to demonstrate your problem-solving skills and pass the checks that inspect the state of your lab environment.
