Course is well divided into small pieces what I like, and easy to follow. Basic and straight to the point for a first contact with git and gitHub.

Really great class. I love that your voice is slow, really good tone, methodical and good annunciation. My favorite part was you showing what file folder was being effected. I had to replay for Forking several times to understand which system you were using e.g. the one you forked from and to. That part was hard for me to grasp, but I finally got it after replaying. Maybe some flow charts could have helped to better understand that part. Thanks,

This is a great course for full beginners in git (like me). Described very basic but important concepts. But after this course i not feel like i can use git in my work, i need more examples with big projects. And this course actually created in 2017, not in 2020 like it named, this is not critical but keep this in mind when buy this course.
