VOTE : do you know Git, and would you like a Git course on Sololearn ?

Question

I'm delighted I discovered Sololearn, which I find very well done. Kudos to the team, you really do a great job here.

However, I feel Sololearn currently lack a Git course.

For those who don't know (yet) Git :

Git is a tool that tracks modifications you make on text-based files (a written document, or a code document) you decide to "track". It also lets you go back to a previous version, if you break your code for example.

In Git, there is the notion of "branches".
The "master branch" is the main timeline of your file.
Then you can create parallel branches for this file, to work on a new feature, without modifying the master branch. Once you're satisfied with your feature and you've tested it, you can merge the branch in the master branch, thus making your new feature officially part of the project.

This way of working is used by almost every developer. In fact, if you seek a job as a developer, chances are that you will be expected to know and use Git.

(Git is not the only versioning tool, but it's the most widely used)

In that matter, a Git course would be really useful on Sololearn, as it's a tool any profesionnal developer is bound to use everyday once he joins a team, no matter the language he writes.

Answer 1

@leon brown : It's a tool, but a tool you can (and should) learn if you want to be a professional developer. It's like mastering word, excel, sublime text, command line.. Once you know it, you're more efficient and productive, it's a new (very useful) skill that makes you a better developer.

Answer 2

I agree.. I have set up servers with custom git centers "mylabcoat" etc.
Git is extremely powerful, and very easy to use.
