Git (Bitbucket) in Unix or Windows

Git is a powerful distributed version control system used to track changes in source code during software development. It enables developers and teams to collaborate efficiently by maintaining a complete history of changes, allowing easy rollbacks, branching, and merging. Designed to support distributed and non-linear workflows, Git helps ensure speed, data integrity, and flexibility in modern software development practices.

In this course, you will start by understanding what Git is and why it is essential for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals. The fundamentals of version control, repositories, commits, branches, and merges are explained in a simple and practical manner, making the course suitable for beginners.

You will then learn how to create a Bitbucket account, which is commonly used for hosting Git repositories and managing source code securely. The course covers repository creation, basic settings, and how Bitbucket integrates seamlessly with Git for collaboration and code management.

Next, the course walks you through installing Git on your system, with step-by-step instructions and explanations. You will understand how to verify the installation and configure Git for first-time use.

A major focus of the course is on Git commands, where you will practice commonly used commands such as cloning repositories, creating branches, committing changes, pushing and pulling code, and resolving basic merge conflicts. Real-world examples are used to help you understand how Git is applied in daily development workflows.
