Frequently asked questions

Branching in Git allows you to diverge from the main line of development and continue work without affecting the main codebase. It's like creating a parallel universe where you can make changes independently.

Branching enables you to work on new features, bug fixes, or experiments without disrupting the main development line. It also facilitates collaboration, as multiple developers can work on different branches simultaneously.

Merging in Git combines the changes from different branches into one. It's typically used to integrate the work done in a feature branch back into the main development branch.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
