Good Git intro and labs, but easier to go through when having at least some experience with other version control systems

The course material assumes that the student has prior knowledge of Git version control. I have used other assisting material to understand this content. Also, the examples/labs are not very well designed and should be built on top of each other to gain the best experience and knowledge. The labs' tasks were not clearly defined and sometimes ambiguous. built on top of each other to gain the best experience. Finally, I recommend using Github as an assisting tool to provide the best interactive explanation.

Would not recommend as an introduction to GIT. For beginners, it would be great to have a course concentrating on concepts, object model. state diagrams of git objects. This course tends to represent the "zoo" of git commands. No single picture illustrating what happens "inside" when we execute this or that command. The most interesting pand new art to me was about Gerrit.

Lots of nice examples, but terrible text-only slides - missing more visual examples

Only reading and very less being taught. The slides don't keep you interested.
