Git & GitHub for Beginners: Complete Hands-On Masterclass

Learn how Git, a popular version control system, and GitHub, a cloud-based code hosting platform, manage and share source code, track changes, and collaborate across teams.

Create a free GitHub account, verify your email via a puzzle, then create a public repository to store your source code.

Create a new maven project in Eclipse named Git hub demo with src main Java and src test Java. Learn to push code to GitHub and explore the Git workflow.

Generate an ssh key pair and add the public key to your GitHub account to authorize pushing and pulling code. Understand how GitHub uses ssh keys for authentication.

Explore essential git commands, from git version and git init to git remote add origin, and learn how to link a local repository to a GitHub repo and push changes.

Master the end-to-end workflow to push code to GitHub: git status, git add, git commit, and git push, with untracked file handling.

Celebrate your progress in mastering Git and GitHub, stay motivated, and explore related courses on Java, Python, Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber BDD, and TestNG to deepen your learning.

Clone the GitHub repository with git clone to download the code to your machine and initialize it as a local repository, a one-time operation before using git pull for updates.

Learn how Git branches create separate copies of code to work on login and create account features, then merge branches into the master branch to integrate changes.

Learn to view local branches with git branch, create a new branch such as feature-login, and switch to it with git checkout, while committing changes as needed.

Pull the latest code from a specific branch with git pull origin feature-login, ensuring you are on that branch in your local repository to sync with the GitHub repository.

Merge the feature login branch into master using git merge, including pushing changes to GitHub, switching branches, pulling updates, and pushing the updated master.
