Basic DevOps with GitHub

3 tutorials
beginner

GitHub is a widely used platform for collaborative development, utilized in large corporations and even small project groups in schools. It is used as a platform for developers to share and contribute to code, helps with version control and keeping track of changes across updates or commits made by individual collaborators.

In more complex use cases of GitHub, such as in a professional or industry standard working environment, the application can be used for organization, team-wide version control, and to review code changes before they are deployed onto the main branch. It can be integrated into CI/CD (Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment) pipelines to automate the stages of app deployment, moving code from development to production.

Through this module, we aim to introduce GitHub Desktop and GitHub’s capabilities to those of you who are already familiar with Git and its features. This will provide you with some knowledge and experience of DevOps in software development.
