Hey there, welcome to 'Up and running with git a pragmatic approach'. Now, in this course, I'm not here to tell you about how intense git
0:13
can be or how tricky it can be or try to impress you with the edge cases of auto squashing. What the heck is that?
0:22
We're here to learn, git to make you productive in your day to day work and as the title says, we're going to take a really pragmatic approach.
0:31
We're going to focus on understanding and using, git from the tools that you already have present. Are you using a modern editor?
0:39
Guess what? It probably has amazing, git features built right into it, why not use those instead of forcing you to learn git through the terminal?
0:47
There's some amazing desktop applications that give you greater visibility,
0:51
massively greater visibility into the state of your github repo you don't have to stay on the terminal and do all those things.
0:58
So many courses will take a least common denominator approach and try to teach you git through the terminal, that's not what this is about.
1:07
This is a real world pragmatic approach that is very practical for beginners because we use
1:13
tools that are there to help you understand what you can do and how things fit
1:16
together. And yet this of course is also very relevant to professionals who just want to be more effective and be more confident with git.
1:24
So I'm happy to have you here, so let's get going.
