This course helped me get comfortable working with command line basics, combined with Git/Github. There were few errors in labs or test but nothing that really detracted from the overall quality.

Over all I would rate this course 9/10, I loved the content in it, and it is the best course for learning Version Controlling tool after 10Pearls Version Control courses I have found on the online learning platforms.

Thanks to Meta.

Recommendation from my side: I would like to say that please add a usage of Git Visualisation tool for elaborating BRANCHES, NODES and how commit id works behind the curtain of such commands like "git commit", "git add", "git push" etc, and how branches merges works behind "git merge" command.

I have seen this visualisation tool for git learning in 10Pearls Version Controlling course and it worked really amazing in understanding and memorising by visualisation.

A great introduction to the Unix ecosystem and Git. I have never encountered other version control systems other than Git (and Perforce) at work so learning about the topic more in detail was useful.

The lesson contents are good enough for Unix commands but I would have liked a few more exercises to practice the commands as you end up leaving behind a few if you don't use them daily.

The GitHub material was also pretty good and modern.

While the course contains useful information related to Git and command line (Bash), there are mistakes in in-video and other quizzes, and links to repositories lead to pages with 404 error. Specifically in the unit on Git and GitHub the order of the videos is not correct and can lead to confusion. The course needs updating to sort the existing issues.

It can be challenging to follow along with the labs. Lab instructions make it straight forward, but even with using the terminal that opens in a tab, there are some hiccups. The instructor was pretty good at going over content thoroughly but it might benefit some users for slower tutorials.

The tutorials failed to break down new terminologies and concepts to surface-level, so first-time learners could easily understand and practice. I found myself having to seek additional resource materials online and in person.

Otherwise, It was a wonderful course.

It is a little basic. Some advance concepts also need to be covered. But whatever was taught was really nice.

Os cursos do Coursera em geral possuem mais textos que vídeo, e este não foi diferente. Muitas legendas sem sincronia com o áudio, algumas legendas diferentes do áudio, atividades fora de ordem (te pergunta como foi o laboratório prático antes de você o faze-lo de fato). Por mais de uma vez aconteceu de eu marcar uma determinada resposta no teste true or false. Ao corrigir, diz que está errado. Eu marco a opção seguinte, diz que está errado novamente, aí volto pra opção anterior, aí diz que está correto (???). A maior parte das atividades práticas são avaliadas de forma automática com pouco ou nenhum feedback. Pode estar tudo certo, se tiver um espaço fora do lugar o resultado será errado e você que se vire pra achar a diferença. Cada problema que encontrei registrei no link "Relatar problema" em cada aula. Contudo, são cursos com milhares de alunos já matriculados. Isso significa que muitos outros já devem ter feito o mesmo mas provavelmente não há ninguém acompanhando, só vendendo curso.

Ok, I didn't complete this course so maybe the rating is a little harsh. I've already canceled my subscription after Meta's JavaScript course, but thought I'd push through Version Control to absorb what I can before the subscription is done.

Week one was ok, but week 2 is just a huge info dump. I was so lost, I had my husband who has been a developer for nearly a decade sit with me and he told me to just stop the course because he feels it is not being taught well. The way the information was presented was too confusing, and as with the JavaScript course, not enough hands on practice.

As software developer this course is really simple and it doesn't explain most important things like Git Flow, the really usefull comand git stash or git cherry pick, or how to create tags, this course need those topics to be good, here you just learn clone, pull, push and add, and git is not just this.

Let's add Git Flow! to be honest on youtube, Udemy or platzi you can find better courses to learn version control, this course is really simple, it's unbelievable this Version Control course it's for become "Proffesional backend Developer"

Mistakes on test so you have to answer with the wrong answer. A lot of information is old. A lot of information is missing. I had to go to Youtube and do a course. It was much better presented. Then I came back and worked through.

I recently completed the Version Control specialization course from Meta, and I must say it was an incredible learning experience. The course covers a broad range of topics related to version control, starting from the basics of version control systems to advanced Git workflows.

The course is divided into four parts, with each part covering a specific aspect of version control. The instructors did an excellent job of breaking down the concepts and presenting them in an easy-to-understand manner. The course also includes a lot of practical exercises, which helped me apply the concepts I learned in real-world scenarios.

One of the things that impressed me the most about the course was the quality of the video lectures. The instructors were engaging, and the production value of the videos was top-notch. I also appreciated the fact that the course had an active discussion forum where students could interact with each other and get help from the instructors.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Version Control specialization course from Meta to anyone who wants to learn about version control systems. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this course has something to offer. The course content is well-structured, the instructors are knowledgeable, and the exercises are challenging enough to keep you engaged throughout the course.

I'm a self-taught developer with 8+ years of experience in using Git, GitHub, and BitBucket. This course is extremely well-made. It covers all of the aspects of Version Control in depth, and does an excellent job of explaining every concept to a beginner. I took this course with the intent to 'audit' it, and see how well was it really made. Can it teach everything necessary to a beginner? The answer is a resounding "yes"! The quality and depth of this course has exceeded my expectations. Simply put, this is the course I wish could have taken 8 years ago. This course can teach you everything that took me months to learn in only weeks! Incredible quality. Well done!

Overall, this course was great! I felt that I really discovered something new and fascinating when learning about version control systems. Knowledge about Git and GitHub was something I've wanted to obtain for a long time, and finally, the mysterious coding platform has revealed its secret and I feel myself in a programmer's flow!😎👌☘️✨

I definitely look forward to continuing with this certification's courses!

I wish you all the best of luck with achieving your goals and aspirations!

Thank you, Coursera, for providing me the financial support and helping me with my career goals!🥰

This is the most incredible Version Control course I've ever taken. I learned a lot about Git and GitHub, as well as the differences between the two. I also learned about various VCSs. I learned how to fork, commit, and push repositories by conducting the practical labs. I also learned how to use UNIX and Git commands. I also like how the instructor explains.

One thing I should add is that the repository for the provided lab is not available. This is a concern, but it has no impact on the general quality of the course.
