Video description

In this Git training course, expert author Chad Thompson will teach you the basics of the Git source control system. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no previous experience with Git is required.
You will start by learning about the common Git servers and clients, then jump into learning how to work with SourceTree and repositories. Chad will teach you how to create and move branches with SourceTree, create Git tags, and create a branch and tag with the command line. This video tutorial will also cover topics including merging Git branches and resolving conflicts with SourceTree and the command line, creating and resolving pull requests, and sharing code snippets with Gists. Finally, you will learn deployment workflows with Git.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be comfortable with using Git to develop software and collaborate with other developers
