Master Git: Manage Your Versions and Collaborate Effectively
This Git training program aims to provide an in-depth understanding of Git, one of the most widely used version control tools in software development. It is designed for beginner to intermediate developers, whether they work alone or in a team, who want to master both the fundamentals and more advanced Git concepts.
The program is structured into progressive modules, starting with the installation and configuration of Git and related tools (Python, Pip, GitHub, GitLab, MkDocs). Participants will learn how to manage project versions, use core Git commands to track and record changes, and work with branches to develop multiple features in parallel.
For collaborative projects, the course covers team workflows, permission management, and effective strategies for Pull Requests (merge requests) and conflict resolution. By the end of the program, participants will be introduced to continuous integration (CI/CD) concepts, enabling them to manage more advanced collaborative workflows.
This program therefore offers a practical and comprehensive approach to learning Git, while integrating additional tools to optimize project management, particularly in the context of static web development.
Module 1: Introduction to Git
Objective: Understand the usefulness of Git in version control and project development.
- Introduction to version control in the context of a static website project.
- Install and configure Git as well as Python, Pip, GitHub, GitLab, and MkDocs.
- Overview of Git and its ecosystem (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.).
Module 2: Working Alone with Git
Objective: Master the fundamentals of Git for an individual static website project using Python and Markdown.
- Basic commands:
git init,git config. - Track and record changes:
git add,git status,git commit. - Explore previous versions:
git log,git diff. - Manage versions:
git tag. - Publish online:
git push. - Discover MkDocs, some Python, and Markdown to run the site locally and host it online.
- Discover other concepts: branches (
git branch,git checkout), a YAML file, a README.md, on GitHub and GitLab. - Clone an online project:
git clone. - Work with command aliases.
Module 3: Working in a Team with Git
Objective: Learn how to use Git in a collaborative environment.
- Discover team types: owner and collaborator for a 2-person project, or equal collaborators.
- Manage teams and define permissions.
- Review commands and add updates to synchronize the local repository with the central repository:
git fetch,git pull. - Best practices for teamwork with Git.
Module 4: Pull Request (Merge Request)
Objective: Master the process of requesting code integration through a Pull Request.
- Introduction to Pull Requests, contributing to a project, and the code review / merge request process.
- Create and submit a Pull Request.
- Handle a conflict-free request: approve or reject the request.
- Update your repository:
git fetch,git pull. - Strategies for managing Pull Requests within a team.
Module 5: Managing Merge Conflicts
Objective: Learn how to handle and resolve version conflicts.
- Understand merge conflicts: causes and how to detect them.
- Handle a request with conflicts: proceed or reject the request.
- Resolve conflicts manually:
git status,git mergetool. - Use conflict resolution tools (VS Code, Meld, etc.).
- Best practices to avoid conflicts: use the stash
git stash. - Manage the stash: add, apply, drop, and more.
Module 6: Synchronization and Continuous Integration
Objective: Manage team integration workflows.
- Differentiate between origin and upstream repositories.
- Introduction to CI/CD concepts, continuous integration, and triangular workflows.
- Introduction to branches:
git branch,git checkout -b. - Introduction to HTTP and SSH remotes and managing SSH encryption keys.
- Discover backtracking, history, and other user-friendly tools.
- Explore the CI/CD pipeline, continuous integration, and continuous deployment.

« Mamadou est venu nous aider à réorganiser notre panneau d’arrêt via un outil de rapport, Crystal Reports. Mamadou a réussi avec succès le travail de précision, au pixel près, puisque nous voulions un rapport similaire au design graphique original. Il nous a aidés à découper le projet par cycle et à intégrer le rapport à notre logiciel corporatif. La qualité que nous avons appréciée était le souci du détail et la constance. Mamadou a été très professionnel et connaît plusieurs autres technologies. Merci. »
