I already had an awareness of Git through my studies with Udacity, and so my laptop is already set up with git and I have a GitHub account. However, as the old addage goes… a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. As part of my nanodegree studies, I was encouraged to use git and GitHub, but instruction provided was minimal and I consequently found myself getting into all sorts of problems with it, due to my ignorance. At the time, it seemed that the use of git and GitHub were primarily for sharing my projects and submitting them for assessment. I was more concerned with furthering my app development skills than learning the intricacies of git/GitHub, and so I abandoned it (to end my growing frustrations with it) and opted for the much simpler alternative of sharing my projects through Google Drive.
The introductory videos provided on this course have given me an appreciation for the importance of version control, and how git and GitHub are tools that I should embrace, for my own sake.
To date, I have only really used GitHub through Android Studio, as opposed to GitBash, and I now realise that I need to gain a greater understanding of how both methods work.
I decided that I needed to seek out some tutorials on the subject to improve my skills and knowledge in this area. I have so far found 2 free version control/git course with Udacity (ironically!) that I will start with, and see if I need further guidance after that:
