Get Git Smart Course

In my professional experience I was familiar with SVN for version control but I had no understanding of how to use Git.

This course has been illustrative to show me both how to use Git for version control as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

Highly recommended for beginners as well as people used to different tools of version control.

I have always wanted to add version control to my workflow and didn't know where to start.

If you're completely new to version control then this course will get you up and running quickly.

I have known that I should know about version control for ages.

Sometimes my lack of understanding led to loss of data, as well as not having a lot of confidence when using version control.

This has really helped me to understand the importance of Version Control, and wow!

This course teaches the fundamentals (and some intermediate/advanced) version control skills that are crucial for a majority of tech-related jobs.

The section on GitHub for Unity was especially important--it's so nice having version control integrated into Unity and committing changes at the end of each milestone.

Useful even for someone with prior knowledge of version control.

Version control can be something very confusing when you first look at it but Ben keeps it simple and breaks down each stage.

My previous experience with source control software was very basic.

I've dabbled with Source Control and Git before, but applying them to Unity Game Dev is a real sweetener.

[Reason for edit: description of the course updated to correctly inform that the tool being used is sourcetree] Solid course that gives a good understanding of the basics of version/source control using SourceTree and GitHub.

I can now use this source control system with all of my current and future projects.

I first learnt about source control through the Unity course by the same team, but having this information in a separate course makes it easier to check through the content, and refer back if needing to review anything.

I would assume that the GameDev.tv team is using git and source control a lot, so a bonus lecture at the end showing of a little how they use git and source control as a team may have been a nice addition.

My goal was to review the material so that I could propose it where appropriate to friends and colleagues embarking on source control journeys of their own.

This course was exactly what I needed to really deploy source control in my own works.

Prior forays into source control on my own left me at best overwhelmed, at worst horribly confused, to the point I was performing my own source control by zipping up the project files, adding on a date stamp, and then uploading them.

My source control needs are simple at present, and the added complexity took me a few tries to get through it.

Ben explains and shows the main concepts of source control.

While I wouldn't dare confess to instantly be a source control wizard, I at least now comfortable in handling 90-95% of the every day dealings with Git.

Great course overall, explains how git and github works and gives you some useful tools to work with version control system.

Ben guided me from knowing nothing about Git and Github through the entire process of creating a source control system.

Learned alot from this and will definitely be using it alot more going forward.. spot on :) I had some prior experience with using Git and Github but I knew there was more features to use mainly with collaboration, I also wanted to know how to use Github with Unity.

This course will teach you some of the basic and more advanced features of using Git and Github.

Good lesson, i learned about cherrypicks and how to solve problems with the merge, is a good class, recommended Awesome course, filled lots of gaps in my knowledge of git and github, going to start using vcs with confidence.

Although I've used Git and GitHub before this course presents the information in a manner that seems to be helping me grasp some things I had problems with before.

I really liked this course it's very clear and easy to follow.

Another thing that could be useful to add a little more information about is the Merge conflicts, the given example is easy, so it is easy to follow along and understand the concept, but I don't think that you will always know that easily what "Mine" and "Theirs" are referring to, so a little more details on how to check the differences between "Mine" and "Theirs" would be useful, because you need to know that before you can decide which one to keep.

The course was very quick and easy to follow.

A must have course if you are new to VC or know little about VC Ben's knowledge and ability to simplify complex and/or abstract concepts in regards to version control in general and git in particular made for a very enjoyable and easy to follow course, even having used git since 2012 he managed to teach me a few tricks regarding LFS and Cherry Picking that I hadn't picked up yet, as well as the recommendations of Sourcetree and GitKraken, I'd been using the standard Git GUI this entire time!

More suitable for beginners.

I put the other courses on hold while doing this and I am equally glad I did that since this will help so much with them.

Thank you so much Ben.
