Reflections on Git and GitHub.

reflections

Reflections on Git and GitHub - an integral part of Udacity's How to Use Git and GitHub course.

About

I took the online course in 2017 as a primer to understanding version control and Git - both of which were new to me at the time.

For a better understanding of the concepts, the course authors encouraged reflection-based learning and so, as an adjunct to learning the main concepts, included this activity of reflecting on what was learnt, by answering a set of related questions.

This repo contains my answers to those questions.

P.S. It looks like Udacity has revamped their course. This refers to their older course.

P.P.S. (Feb 2020) After 3 years, it is interesting to look back at this. So I'm deciding to keep this repo.

Next steps

At work, our team uses Surround SCM (although there are plans to migrate to git). But I do use git for personal projects. The Pro Git book is on my reading list for when I start using git more heavily.
