Developing with Git and GitHub

• Developing with Git and GitHub is designed to provide software developers, DevOps engineers, cybersecurity specialists, technical project managers, and data scientists with a comprehensive understanding of Git and GitHub. This intermediate–level course spans three days and offers a blend of theoretical knowledge and hands–on practice, ensuring participants gain practical skills in version control and collaborative development. Throughout the class, participants will learn to define Git's architecture, execute foundational Git operations, and implement effective remote repository operations. You will also explore advanced GitHub features such as project management tools, security best practices, and CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. By the end of the course, attendees will be proficient in leveraging GitHub's capabilities to enhance team collaboration, manage code changes, and streamline development workflows. This course is ideal for professionals looking to deepen their understanding of version control systems and improve their collaborative development skills. Participants will leave with the ability to set up and utilize GitHub's project management tools, design effective CI/CD pipelines, and develop custom development environments with GitHub Codespaces. Whether you're aiming to enhance your team's productivity or advance your career, this course provides the essential knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today's fast–paced development environment.

All of our Public Classes are taught by a virtual live instructor. How it works is a live instructor conducts the class from a remote location regardless if you attend at one of the local training centers or if you attend remotely.

For of Private Group Training classes we can arrange to have the instructor conduct the class live at your location. Need Group Training?
