What you'll learn

GitHub is the world’s favorite code repository site. Backed by Git, it makes working with the distributed source control accessible for all developers. In 2024, it has more than 100 million active developers working on projects and sharing code over a massive amount of over 420 million of repositories. GitHub was also acquired by Microsoft in 2018 and has since then received a number of exciting new features. In this course, GitHub Foundations: Collaborating on GitHub, you'll learn how to collaborate using GitHub effectively. First, you’ll be introduced to the concept of pull requests, a very important concept, and select the merge strategy for your code to be added onto another branch. Next, you’ll learn how to give and receive feedback using issues, a concept that spans GitHub entirely. Finally, you’ll see how you can work with notifications and other collaborative features including wikis and GitHub Pages. By the end of this course, you will have a good understanding the collaborative features that GitHub contains.
