Git & GitHub Basics for Beginners

Features of Git

• Distributed structure: Each user has a local copy of the entire repository, enabling work even when the network is unstable.

• Branching and Merging: You can develop new features independently and merge them into the main code once completed.

• Speed and Performance: Fast and efficient since most operations are performed locally.

What is GitHub?

GitHub is a service that hosts Git repositories, facilitating code sharing and collaboration. Using GitHub, you can create remote repositories and work on projects together with others.

Who should learn this?

• A person who wants to get started with coding

• A person starting data science with no coding background

• Students and educators related to programming

What will you learn?

• I'm studying git commands

  (e.g. add, commit, log, merge, reset, rebase)

• I'm studying about creating GitHub projects.

Reasons Why You Should Learn Git & Github

Efficient Code Management😃

• Change History Tracking: All changes are recorded so you can revert to previous versions at any time.

• Branching and Merging: You can use branches to develop various features independently and merge them stably.

• Conflict Management: Minimize conflicts through branching and merging, and easily resolve any conflicts that do occur.

  
  

Concurrent work possible😃

• Distributed Development: Multiple developers can work independently even when working simultaneously.

  
  

• Pull Request: You can improve code quality through the process of reviewing and approving code changes.

• Code Review: Team members can review each other's code and exchange feedback to improve the quality of collaboration.

  
  

• Cloud Storage: You can store your code in the cloud to access it from anywhere and reduce the risk of data loss.

• Automatic Backup: Using platforms like GitHub enables automatic backups, preventing data loss.

  
  

Essential Skills😃

• Industry Standard: Git and GitHub are standard tools widely used in the software development industry, and mastering them can enhance your competitiveness as a developer.

• Portfolio Building: You can build your portfolio by managing and sharing your projects using GitHub.
