Git

This is not an actual course given at Jönköping University. Instead, it's an improvised mini course teaching you the basics in Git, something that every programmer should know these days. Git is very useful when you are multiple programmers working on the same project at the same time.

Learning Resources

Here is a list of the resources used in this mini course. They will be introduced to you in the lectures.

• The program git
• The book Pro Git by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub (available for free online in multiple different formats)
• The website Visualizing Git
• The website Learn Git Branching
• The website git - the simple guide
