Question 1

Do I need Git experience before taking this course?

Accepted Answer

<text variant="body1">No prior Git experience is needed; the course introduces version control and basic Git commands.

If you need that background, begin with DevOps Fundamentals and Continuous Integration.

Question 2

What Git skills will I practise in this course?

Accepted Answer

<text variant="body1">You’ll practise setting up a repository, recording clear commits, and developing changes on separate branches before merging them into a stable main branch. The mini project also asks you to resolve a merge conflict and undo a faulty commit. These tasks help you keep software changes traceable and recover from mistakes.

Question 3

How will I learn to bring security into a DevOps workflow?

Accepted Answer

<text variant="body1">You’ll explore DevSecOps concepts and consider how security fits into software development, delivery, and team culture.

The Git mini project provides a concrete application by asking you to keep a secret value out of version control.

Accepted Answer

<text variant="body1">You’ll practise managing changes in ways that support collaboration, including using branches, recording commits, resolving conflicts, and recovering from errors.
