Hey everyone, thanks for watching ❤ If you want to support my work, I wrote a book on learning to code: amzn.to/3a911Rk (US) and books2read.com/u/4DgO8D (worldwide)

When you said CD = Change Directory, I went into a time warp. I bought my first PC in 1984. It had a massive 10 meg hard drive! I knew absolutely nothing about computers. Didn't even know anyone who had one. The computer came with a thick three-ring binder with the title, DOS. I read and reread and reread the entire book until it started to make sense. (The first version of Windows didn't come out until 1985.) In 1985, I bought an early copy of Symantec's Q&A, a (non-Windows) word processor, flat file, and report generator, which relied heavily on keystroke combinations to get things done but was hinting at a graphical interface. I ran a non-profit for many years with Q&A and loved it, such an improvement from WordStar. So, now at 72-years-old, to see CD = Change Directory, I say to myself, "Hey, I can do this." Thanks for a good tutorial.

Gwen articulated this topic so well and was able to break it down into simple terms for a newbie like me. She also explained everything very clearly, showcasing her intelligence in simplifying complicated concepts with ease. I am very grateful to have stumbled upon this video.

16:28 if you are having problem with using command "ls -la", make sure that you change your terminal into Bash first. To change your terminal, 1. Head to the upper right corner on terminal and press the drop-down menu. 2. Select "Git Bash" terminal. 3. Start using the command "ls -la" there.

What an amazing explanation, thank you so much for being so clear and concise! A tip for new learners like myself: This video is slightly dated. GitHub now refers to the primary branch as "main" and not "master". If you try to run these commands exactly like Gwen in the video, you'll run into errors. Remember: main ✔️ master ❌

Gwen, your video is great! I love how everything is broken down into bite-size chunks. You have a wonderful gift of teaching. You've helped this beginner get closer to becoming a competent user of Git & GitHub.

Gwen, your tutorial is absolutely excellent! I am so grateful for IT pros like you! You are very clear, thorough, detailed. I've always wanted to better understand Git & Github and I believe you are my answer to learn how to make use of these great tools. It's SO nice to have a non-judgmental pro who makes sense and doesn't teach as if most of us out here already know what the tool does and how we can benefit from it. Hopefully I can teach my friends in time. I've just become your newest subscriber, so many thanks and please keep up the excellent teaching. I'm excited and now engaged...I've just got to make time to learn it and learn it well. Much respect. - MS!

It's the best Git / Github tutorial out there and that too at no cost to the learner. Amazingly explained all important and, I believe, the most commonly used git commands / Github operations in such an easy to understand manner. I feel so confident now in using git/github from earlier being a Zero in this space. I'd spcially acknowledge the slow pace of Gwen's speaking while explaining all these concepts. Wonderful job done, Gwen. Thank a ton!!!!!

Whole course was broken down into heading and sub-headings, spending time on important ones and you made sure the basics were clear to the students, viewers or learners like me. Thank You Gwen.

This was much better than I expected it to be. Very "no fluff," clear, and bite sized. You can find these topics in many places (youtube, udemy, skillshare, etc) but most instructors can't seem to explain these topics plainly. You did exactly that, nice job. You covered the core concepts of branching, merging, PR's, conflict resolutions, and undoing changes in very easy to follow and digestible steps 👍

My feedback: this was an incredibly helpful overview of how to use git. Thank you. I've been using it for over a year now but some of the commands I just ran because that's how I'd seen more senior devs do it. I really appreciated you explaining what some of the arguments mean (e.g. HEAD, origin, -u). I know there is a ton more that git can do but from my experience this will give people 90% of what they'll ever use git for.

Thank you, Maybe some suggestions, - add the changes of github defaulting to "main" instead of master and the configs on it. - Setting up SSH keys(20:30) first must be earlier than the cloning through VS Code(14:30), so we can follow along

I can barely sit still for an episode of my tv series but I just sat through this whole video. Thank you for breaking everything down into bitesize pieces perfect for newbies to understand and digest. I love how you explain everything in great detail and also explained what those terms mean. As newbies, we've got lots of small questions that can make or break our full understanding of something so I thank you for paying attention to those small stuff.

You do not understand how much this video has helped me in using git as an upcoming developer. You are the best teacher i have ever seen on youtube! Thank you so much

Absolute masterpiece of a Tutorial. I'm an electrical engineer working as a Data Analyst with Energy Data. I'm trying to shore up my programming credentials as a Data Scientist because I'm trying to change jobs and have failed a lot of interviews for not having enough knowledge on Git, so this guide is very welcome :D

This is an excellent, detailed tutorial for Git and GitHub. It’s long, but easy to follow, not least because there is no distracting music, no annoying jingles or graphics and perhaps most helpful, the narration is measured and carefully modulated ... you quickly feel at home with the delivery, from someone who really knows their subject material.

I finally understand Git after this video. I’ve asked so many questions to friends and watched several “quick” KZfaq tutorials and was still confused about Git. Your tutorial was excellent and I’m glad I sat through the whole hour of it. It was completely worth my time. Thanks!

This was a highly comprehensive and helpful Git tutorial. It was definitely worth the full hour because unlike other shorter tutorials, it covered everything extensively (with appropriate examples too) thus helping me to properly understand the basic concepts and operations of Git as well as use cases, Thank you very much!

The best Git tutorial I’ve ever had. Straight to the point and clear explanations to the important features. Thank you so much

I don't usually leave comments for tutorials, but let me say, this one fit like a glove to my newbie needs. Thanks a lot!

The most complete tutorial for beginners I have seen on KZfaq so far! Thanks a lot!

This tutorial is probably the best github tutorial any beginner online could make use of. The lecture was succinct and it passed the desired information to the viewers, not having to make things overly complicated, she explains it so well.

i'm a non native speaker of english, what i loved a lot here is your slow n steady way of illustrations, was a nice video .. thanks u so much

Version control is definitely a crucial tool for developing software. Thank you for the education! ❤️

absolutely loved this video! as someone who was absolutely in the dark about how to use git and github, this crashcourse most definitely provided me with all the necessary information a beginner would need! thank you! :)

Just wanted to say, this helped me out a bunch. The terminology breakdown at the beginning was very appreciated as well as your well-paced explanation. Thanks for uploading this!

I have had a problem understanding this and actually stopped coding for years but your tutorial really helps me get back on track. Thank you, thank youu!

This has to be the best introduction to git and GitHub I have seen to date (yes, I have tried watching a number of videos). Easy to follow and clearly explained. Finally understanding "git push origin main" (changed from master) was my favourite part. Thank you.

So helpful and well-explained. As a new coder, I'm in near disbelief that this is the setup process for what seems to be the tool used by every professional coder. That said I'm even more thankful you explained it so well.

I have been making mindless commits and PRs without realizing what they actually meant. This course fills so many gaps and answers most of my question regarding why we do a certain thing in Git. Thanks a Lot!!

At 21:43, One important note:: If you choose a new name instead of automatically generated location, you have to use that location name when adding configuration code to the [~/.ssh/config] file. Nice tutorial. Thank you.

she is the most fluent instructor that answered all my questions while i was watching... imma go to her channel and subscribe rn.

This so far is the best (free) course that I've seen on Git and GitHub. Bravo Gwen!

So as a self taught developer this has not been my first time looking into Git, but this the first time commands lines were explained even better which is good. Most places I would only get commands and work from there not knowing how to and when to use them. Gwen here, did a great job explaining and sharing the common usage and howwhen to. I am now confident to continue working and learning git. Thanks greate content.

Thanks for the video. I just went through the video minute by minute practicing the concepts, and it feels that I am now more familiar with git and GitHub than before I came to the video.

I learned more that I expected. Thanks a million for such a complete course.

At some point I thought I was dumb for not gasping the concept of git and GitHub because I’ve watched over 5 courses which were paid but I was getting even more frustrated. But here you are making it all clear, now I have the ahaaaaaaaaa moment. I’m in love with your teaching methods, they make sense to me and now I can rewatch those other courses. Thank you very much!!!

The default name of the initial branch is now called "main" not "master". So if anyone is haveing trouble at 25:50, you need to use "git push origin main" not "git push origin master"

I am pretty new to Git and I liked your video very much. First I think that the explanations are super easy to understand and second I like that you are using command line and git hub to show the features. I will now be searching for release management with Git, but you gave me already some nice ideas. Thank you

I'm literally five minutes in and I can already tell that you put great detail into this video. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this course, it seems to be a great refresher. My only comment about the content is that at least at my end, the audio is really quiet in comparison to a lot of the other videos I look at. I'm not sure if this is deliberate.

As a beginner, I've understood a lot about git and GitHub that I was struggling with just by following along with this video. Thanks You

The first ever instructor that actually explains the meaning of each jargon! Thanks @Faraday Academy!

Y’all are amazing! Pumping out this much needed content especially during these times.

If you're a new to web development this is very important, precisely what I was looking for. thanks for this amazing content

Gwendolyn you have the gift of teaching. Pace, tone, detail, order of instruction. This tut is a thing of beauty.

For beginners like me, who might be feeling lost with commands not working in the VS code terminal, all these commands will work on Git Bash since it can interpret all UNIX commands and git ones, on the top of it, it will track the edits you separately perform on VS code. So feel free and just git bash through this course.

You did an amazing job, I don't collaborate on any projects and just used git for tracking changes over time, making my github page look busy, and project copypasta. But this reminded me how immensely useful git is; built a reference guide around your video Thank you!

This was a great tutorial, exactly what I needed. I liked the way you boiled down so much content, and kept it understandable, without going down every rathole. I might have to go back to watch the merge/fork part, but this is all I need for now to get started. Thanks!

This is course is the definition of PERFECT! Even if you never used git/github or not even likely to use it! You will still enjoy it. Gwen's voice and style is hypnotic, and she is absolutely gorgeous - loving the GI Jane looks ;-) Thank you Gwen xxxx

This is an excelent video!! Since git and github are very important tools when working with codes, I strongly reccomend every beginner to watch this video and learn about git and github in the beginning of the learning process. I had a problem with my computer, and lost some codes that I was working on for practice. If I've seen this video before, I wouldn't have this problem, since I would have added all my codes to githubs repositories. Thanks for all the help, Gwen!

Probably the best Git and GitHub crash course newcomers can have. Thanks a lot for a perfectly done job!

Took me 5 days to completely learn your 1hour course but I repeated it over and over until I completely got it! Very useful, no nonsense and easy to understand. The only thing is, I think the location of SSH keys in the video got changed and placed after 'commit' and 'push' but it is necessary to set up before those steps. Took me a minute to figure that out. Thank you so much!

This video is amazing! I failed to understand Github for several years until I came across this video. Thanks!

This was definitely one of the best git tutorials I have ever come across. Big Thanks Gwen!!!

This has taught me all i needed to know about git which i was delaying for a long time. Thank you :)

Gwen, once again you have created the exact video I needed. Thank you for the effort and commitment it takes to professionally produce these pieces. I have enjoyed many of your tutorials.

This was an amazing tutorial. I only knew of GitHub, but wasnt aware of the difference between Git Hub. As a beginning and aspiring developer, this was very informative. Thank you!

Really love this git and github intro course, it really touches a lot of things. 1. How to create a repo locally through the CLI(Command Line Interface) or directly from GITHUB 2. git flow by using the most common commands: git add - git commit and git push/git pull, all of them with their corresponding explanation. What "origin", "remote" and "master" mean. 3. git branching: all the commands involve in that kind of operation as well as best practices. 4. git merging: when we use a "feature" branch and it's time to merge to the "master" branch -- PR (Pull Request) on the Github side 5. How to deal with "conflicts" when merging. 6. Undoing in git: undoing from the stage area versus undoing if we have committed once or several times. 7. Understanding how and why we fork a repo on github. Really awesome content, thank a lot for such a valuable content.

Git has been a point of contention for me ever since I began learning how to code. You presented this material with so much clarity, I now feel far more confident about staging and committing branches as well dealing with merge conflicts! Thank you!!!

Gwen has such a clear and pleasant voice and a perfect diction! Likewise, she has a very good teaching skills. Thanks, Gwen!

This video was very helpful to me. It was also my first git video and I really got the concept. I don't know why, but while watching this video, I felt like a part of a community working together towards an end goal. Thank you very much!

I 've watched a lot of Git tutorials, and this is for sure the best I've ever seen. Thanks !

I really learnt many things out of this video and I'm finally able to dive into version controls softwaare yeeeea!

Excellent tutorial ! Very clear. I spent last 2 - 3 hours following it step by step and I understood everything ! I had no difficulty in reproducing the path. And it is very practical. I am a UX UI designer, so a bit impressed with the code. But that was real smooth. Well done !!!

Best Github Tutorial so far! Hands down. Couldnt appreciate more that how she has considered detailing the tiniest of things about git and github.

This was an incredible tutorial on Git! Very easy to follow and understand. Thank you

thank you! I was looking for something like this. Good job Gwen!

This was an excellent video, can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge in such a clear, concise and easy-to-follow way. I got a way clearer understanding of stuff I already work with and learned a lot of new stuff. Soo good, thanks again!

This really helped clarify the difference between the different workflows based on whether you start with a local repo or a repo that is on Github. Thanks so much!

Much appreciated Gwen! This is one step on my long journey into programming, this was all very useful.

I feel so relived; I'm finally learning this darn thing! Thank you for the tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to do this Gwen! Edit: Upon reviewing the tutorial again, I'd like to say: 1. When creating a tutorial, you guys should _truly_ understand the importance of slowing down to the pace of the learner. In the beginning you walk us through a nice set of key terms (which was exceptional), then start mixing lots of advanced and beginner-level concepts together in your explanations, confusing the person that's watching the video. Slow down, explain like we're 5, that's why we're here. 2. To expand upon the issue of mixing things up I mentioned above, it's okay to keep a tutorial short, and add footnotes later if you think that the advanced concepts you're touching on are still worth being aware of. That way, the beginner can truly focus their attention on the basics, and then access the footnote only when they feel comfortable with the knowledge they've acquired thus far, making the content of your footnotes even more effective. After all, isn't good programming about being efficient? I used to get annoyed at being expected to take additional English classes as a Computer Science student, but now I understand why. I spent 4 hours yesterday debugging a Terminal issue, only to later realize that there was an "issue" because the person who created the how-to GitHub document instructed the reader to paste this code into the Terminal command line: *eval "$(ssh-agent exec -s)"* They said to *paste* this command in the terminal (meaning: include the quotation marks). After 4 hours of learning about chmod, File Links, Groups, root directory, Inodes-things I knew NOTHING about prior to this, I resolved my problem by simply removing the quotation marks. Now, the arrogant developer might say, "Well that's obvious". No it's not! The person said "paste", meaning I would: - Select the piece of code - Apply ctrl+c to it, for Windows (cmd+c on Mac) - Go to the Terminal and apply ctrl+v/cmd+v Either the tutorial should have been made like this: *eval $(ssh-agent exec -s)* , or the person writing the document should I mentioned that the quotation marks need to be removed. As Software Engineering becomes more collaborative, programmers can no longer get away with being asocial, and communication impaired, so this is an area a lot more engineers need to start being proficient in .

Great explanation of how to use and integrate Git and GitHub into your IDE. Scrolling through the timeline it seemed that I could skip some topics since they don't cover the exact information that I was actually looking for. Only to find out later that one by one, most if not all of my questions are answered in these topics. Pleasant surprise. Great work!

Thanks a lot to you for bringing out this to us so simply and descriptively. I was facing a lot of problems in using the git and github ,after going through this video, now i have a complete idea of how to use all these features. It was truly an amazing explanation , Once again thanks a lot gwen 🤗🤗🤗🤗

This was a great video to get familiar with the Git concepts in order to start working on it. Thanks Gwen

You guys are awesome, I was waiting for this video and here it is only in few days 🙏

Great pacing and easy to work alongside. Loved making all these commands work for the first time and having it all "click". Thank you!

Thank you for the amazing tutorial! As a beginning dev, you've taught me a lifelong skill in just an hour!

This is exactly what a beginner would need .. a great course covered in so timely manner

Thank you very much! I learned a lot! I wish you'd add a git log after the last git reset that you did... but it's okay, I can always recreate the project and see how it looks. Thank you again for this tutorial! You are a good teacher!

I'm branching into technical writing and this is an amazing class! Thank you!

Thanks for this. I particularly liked that you explained WHY certain things were done - not just 'do this' JC

You People are like a Blessing... Like Water in Dessert... You People are too Good for us. May the *Force* be with you🙋‍♂️😊🇮🇳

Thanks Gwen. This is the best beginner tutorial I have come across for Git and GitHub. What makes it the best is that you don't assume that any bit of information is too trivial or unimportant to mention. I feel a lot more comfortable on the topic now. Thanks again!

Thanks - I forgot everything "git" in the last year and relearned it all plus more after watching this one hour video.

Really great video! The explanations are very clear and you don't move too slowly nor too quickly through the examples. Bravo!

This is top notch I must say. I rarely give comments, but by default I'm doing so now..

Amazing platform for ever...i didn't seen ever before..i'm always waiting this video

You don't realise the way you just save my entire career, That's really for dummies like i was in the beginnig of your tutoriel, thanks a billion times😁😁❤❤

Such an excellent teacher, I had many problems understanding Git and Git hub now I completely understand all that stuff.

This is free content so if you don't like it, You should tell her in the comments than disliking it.

This is a great video, Gwen! I learned simple git commands (add/commit/ branch push) in a bootcamp several years ago, but was worried that the information had slipped from my lack of use. Thank you for taking time to put this together. All of your examples were straightforward withsimple/perfect demonstrations. I don't think 🤔 I'll ever let this knowledge slip away again like it had, but if I need to brush up anything or learn something new, I will be sure to look for your page(s).

Extremely useful, sharing a fewthings.. For latest Windows client on VScode, 1. Cloning via ssh doesn't work but via https does. 2. On Key generation, SSH for rsa doesn't work, but the new syntax & algorithm ed25519 published in Github help page works. 3. Same for starting & config ssh agent, the github help page commands worked. Thanks a lot for this video.

Thank you, I have interview in few days and this really helped me.

I am only 15 minutes into so far, and I have to say this is amazing tutorial, thank you!

I love this tutorial. It was exactly what I needed as a beginner to grasp the basics of Git & GitHub. Thank you.

yoooo this is amazing! I love how you repeat the steps slightly differently. It really helps me understand how things work. I'm just a salesguy but this has been auper helpful, thanks!

Its a great course for complete beginners to learn about GIT. I used Git from many years, but wasn't aware about importance of the "upstream" command. This course made me understand it. Thank you so much for your efforts. I appreciate it.

OMG thank you so much for this video This was right on time for me. Please keep the awesome videos coming I greatly appreciate them ❤
