This training is meant for team leads, architects or other roles that want to lift their knowledge to Git to a higher level. I’m expecting these people to take the lead into deciding how to setup and structure a new software project. If you are looking for a basic course take a look at our Git training for Beginners.
The Git advanced training will show you how to incorporate Git and use its possibilities on a higher level in a software project. It will teach you best practices regarding version control and maybe a little bit about software architecture as well.
When using Git in a new project, a lot of questions can pop up. Are we going to store everything in a single repository? Or are we going to use multiple repositories? How can we make system wide changes in a controlled matter? Are there alternatives? What will our branching strategy look like? Is there a difference between projects that are still in full development mode compared to projects that are in maintenance mode?
In this highly interactive training we will discuss these questions and give you pointers on how to start using Git to your advantage for your own projects.
