Git Classes NYC | Web Developer Courses New York

Git is the most commonly used version control system. Git helps you track the changes you make to your code. You can revert to previous versions, or you can branch off and start a new version without losing your previous work. Git makes collaboration seamless by allowing changes by multiple developers to be merged into one source file. Most importantly, your profile on GitHub can serve as a portfolio of your work.

Many people are intimidated by Git and GitHub because the initial setup needs to be done in the Terminal, but we'll help you "Git Going" in no time at all.

In this class, we'll demystify Git and explain the typical workflows you'll encounter. We'll teach you the most common Git commands so that you can work quickly and efficiently, even if you've never used the Terminal before.

Once you understand how Git works, you can choose to use a desktop app (or Git integration in some code editors) if you want to avoid using the command line.

This standalone Git Going course is held at Noble Desktop, our coding school in Midtown. This course is also included in all of our web development certificate programs.

“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”
