Git has become wildly popular as a way to manage source code, as well as sharing code with others. Git is actually a free, open source distributed version control system. In this session, you will learn the basics of using Git. You will get familiar with repos, committing changes, branching and merging. You'll see how to work with both new and existing projects, how to store your code in both GitHub and Visual Studio Team Services and how to work with Git in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

  • What Git is and how to get started
  • The basics of Git, including repos, committing changes, branching and merging
