Git & GitHub Practical Course

A 15-day hands-on course focused on learning Git and GitHub through practical, command-line-based exercises and real repository workflows.

What I Can Now Do

• Initialize, track, and manage a Git repository from scratch
• Write clean, meaningful commits using selective staging
• Create and merge branches, including resolving a real merge conflict
• Connect a local repository to GitHub and understand remotes, fetch, and pull
• Fork and clone repositories, and understand remote-tracking branches
• Open, review, and merge Pull Requests - including handling GitHub Actions checks
• Use Issues to track real tasks from open to close
• Tag releases and write release notes
• Set up a basic GitHub Actions workflow
• Follow the full professional workflow: branch, commit, push, PR, review, merge, cleanup

Each day's folder includes:

• A README.md containing a concise summary of the day's work
• A .txt file containing detailed notes, commands, and real examples
• Practical exercises actually performed during that day, not just theory

Learning Workflow

Learn -> Practice -> Document -> Commit -> Push

Every topic was practiced directly in Git Bash and on GitHub before being documented and added to this repository.

Tools

• Git
• Git Bash
• GitHub
• Visual Studio Code
• Markdown
• GitHub Actions

Practical Application

After completing this Git & GitHub course, I applied the concepts and commands learned here to a separate HTML & CSS practice repository. I used Git for version control and GitHub to organize and publish my learning progress throughout the course.

About

I am a Computer Science student and aspiring Full-Stack Developer. This repository documents a 15-day, self-directed course through which I built a practical, hands-on foundation in Git and GitHub - version control, branching, merging, remote collaboration, Pull Requests, Issues, and automation with GitHub Actions.

Every completed section here is backed by real Git commits, not just notes - version v1.0 marks the halfway point (Day 12), and this README marks the full completion of the course.
