A very good introduction to Git, and the instructor's voice is very clear - and while a great emphasis was placed on enunciation and clarity, it was a bit monotone, which, when combined with something of a dry subject, made it difficult to keep up. The lectures have a kind of narrative to them, which is great, but I often felt lost, like I missed something vital, and couldn't easily trace back. If I hadn't created my own set of notes for this class I would have been lost. And you might think DUH you should always take notes! True, but in this case I spent easily 4x as long essentially re-documenting the whole class in a format that aligned with how I learn things. I think some additional course resources like PDFs of the high-level concepts, commands used in the lectures, and command syntax would be fantastic.

The course is very good. It is best suited to beginners with Git but with some development/programming background. The last module, especially the run through of different workflow methodologies really brought it together. The hands on final project was useful too. Although it would be difficult, what would improve it is some real world content in the examples and workshops. Repetitive use of 'fileA.txt' with one-line content is a bit confusing and not relatable I think - they could have used a simple html page as the ongoing content and applied corrections to spelling mistakes, etc., as the commits - that would make the workshop material more accessible. Nonetheless, if you have never used Git before (or have only a very limited exposure to it) it is a worthwhile course.

Two separate paths for sourcetree and commandline would be a way to make things easier for the students. Now it was a bit frustrating having to jump over the videos that you did not wish to see. Also IMHO the questions in the middle of the videos were unnecessary interruptions. In addition, 15-25 minutes videos would be optimal length (for me). Seems to be the general tendency that self-educational videos are getting ever shorter. It may give some relief to a small group of students, but IMO the majority will suffer. If this continues, at some point in the future there's not enough time for anything else than "In this video we will learn" and "Let's review the things we learnt in this video" :)

I choked on some of the "exam"-questions because they were not precise enough and I had to guess / assume on what was asked for in the question. Otherwise, a great course. Comment for course-authors: I think you should leave a note explaining how you can avoid revealing your git-account email, by changing the local git config. For instance, in my case I have git configured locally with my work-email which I DO NOT want to reveal through my submission uploaded for peer-review. For that reason I ran the following command "git config --local user.email [email protected]" in the local git-repository

The course has provided much useful information, although the presentation is kind of boring, and the examples are very primitive - working with some actual code snippets would be nice. I would like to see a more detailed coverage of the interplay between local and remote repositories; I feel that what was taught here is insufficient for practice. The course also badly needs some kind of short PDF notes to help review the material and to use for future reference.
