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

This specialization is a very thorough introduction to Open Source Software, Linux development, and Git. It has a lot of good videos and articles to refer to, however, there are not a lot of practical labs that apply these skills to development. I would rate this specialization a 7/10 because the information is really good but the practicality of it could be improved. I am very glad I took this specialization though.

In the beginning there are questions that only can be answered if you have been working on the upcoming material. I'm not sure if the patches per mail part is really that important. I worked with git before but have never heard of that approach.

Anyway I learned something in this course and I'm confident that I will use git more professional in the future.

Great material covered in depth. I felt real workflows are not covered as detailed as other things, but still really helpful. Also, if thinking on taking this standalone course instead of the entire 4-courses certification, be sure to feel comfortable with your Linux/Terminal skills.

Nice training!. It provides the fundamental concepts for developing with git. Maybe I missed some mentions (or even labs), which popular systems using git, such as github or even gitlab, where simple collaboration workflows may be illustrated easily.

O conteúdo em si do curso é bom. No entanto precisam melhorar as legendas do vídeo e traduções dos conteúdos de leitura para o português BR. Há muitos erros de tradução e traduções de expressões que não precisam ser realizadas.

A good, gentle yet technical, introduction to Git. It would have been better for me if it had assumed no familiarity with version control systems, but even so I managed well.

Missed maybe some practical examples to follow-up during the course. With a dummy repository just for the course so students can play with it.

Good. But more practical training would have been more interactive, and less boring.
