Course agenda of Mastering version control with Git
The course is run as instructor-led presentations of each topic followed by live demos, lab exercises or discussions.


The course is based on using the command line as this gives users the deepest understanding and knowledge that is easily portable to any graphical client. No prior experience with command-line and bash are really needed. You only need to bring a laptop with Git bash installed, and we will take care of the rest.
Attendees are welcome to bring questions or challenges from their own background.


Before the course
Ensure that Git bash is installed at your laptop and consider if you have any certain questions or challengers you wish to bring along.


During the course
Two days of training, both days from 9.00-16.00
