<h3><b>Git and GitHub course description</b></h3>
      <p> This course covers version control using Git but also
using GUI frontends such as GitHub. The course starts
with a tour of using GitHub but then quickly moves onto
using git from the command line. All elements of git
version control are covered including creation of
repositories, adding and editing files, branches and
merging, rewriting history and handling merge conflicts.
Hands on sessions are used throughout the course.</p>

Network automation demystified

<strong>This course focuses on the basic features of Git and GitHub such as commits, branches, merging, GitHub, and Git objects. If you are new to Git and GitHub, this course will help you get familiarized with the concepts so that you can use them in your projects and the projects that you potentially will contribute to in the future.</strong>
        <p>This course is designed to guide you through working with Git and GitHub. You will start by learning how to install Git and initialize a new Git repository on Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix systems and then understand how to use it on the command line.

Next, you will learn the four types of objects in Git: blobs, trees, commits, and annotated tags. Each object has a unique SHA1 hash. All objects are stored in the folders. Every object has just a single reference to it-SHA1 hash. Files are stored in blobs. Filenames are stored in other Git objects called trees.

The videos will guide you through making changes, staging them, and committing them afterward. Also, you will learn and practice how to observe commits tree and checkout different commits to 'travel in time' between different states of the Git repository.

By the end of this course, you will be well-versed with the basics of Git and GitHub.</p>
        <h2>What You Will Learn</h2><p>Create and initialize local and remote Git repositories<br>Synchronize local and remote repository at GitHub<br>Make changes in the working directory, add them to the staging area, and commit<br>Create, checkout, and merge branches<br>Analyze contents of the Git objects<br>Explore pushing and pulling operations<br>Make changes in the files directly at GitHub</p>
        <h2>Audience</h2><p>This course is for complete beginners who are new to Git and GitHub, software developers who want to learn what is Git and how to use its basic features, and developers who want to learn how to connect GitHub and Git repositories.</p>
        <h2>Approach</h2><p>The entire course follows a practical hands-on approach ensuring that you can practice and understand all core Git and GitHub features. It provides interactive activities to give you a practical learning experience.</p>
        <h2>Key Features</h2><p>Explore how Git and GitHub work, along with their basic features * Learn how to manage commits, branches, merging, and objects in GitHub and Git * Perform basic operations such as committing changes, pushing to the remote, and merging branches</p>

Git and GitHub Crash Course

<strong>Learn GitHub Actions in a weekend! This course covers all the important concepts to help you master GitHub Actions and its practical applications. Gain in-demand skills, design a CI/CD pipeline, and deploy infra as code with GitHub Actions. Boost your career with this essential skill for DevOps practices.</strong>
        <p>Workflows are defined by a YAML file checked into your repository and will run when triggered by an event in your repository, or they can be triggered manually, or on a defined schedule. GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. Make code reviews, branch management, and issue triaging work the way you want.

In this intensive course, you will learn the fundamentals of GitHub Actions workflow in a compact timeframe. The course covers important concepts such as the workflow structure and components, events, jobs, steps, and runners. It also dives into various topics such as environment variables, GitHub variables, secure password storage, and manual approvals.

Additionally, the course teaches techniques for sharing values between steps and jobs and explains the use of self-hosted runners. The course concludes with a demonstration of preparing an infrastructure as code (IAC) template with Bicep and deploying it through a GitHub Action workflow. The course will equip you with the skills to automate your entire software workflow using GitHub Actions, from idea to production.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of how to use GitHub Actions to automate your software workflows.
