Description

Git is easy with practiceAs you go through the course you will practice common git commands by pressing buttons and not typing commands. The course will walk you through common options and workflows.After working several years at MathWorks and creating a consulting company around Numerical Computing with languages like MATLAB and Python it became clear that there are many people who are not trained as software developers who end up spending a lot of their time coding.Why Git for MATLAB?After working several years at MathWorks and creating a consulting company around Numerical Computing with languages like MATLAB and Python it became clear that there are many people who are not trained as software developers who end up spending a lot of their time coding.As VersionBay got hired to help transition individuals writing code in MATLAB to sharing with others and collaborating the topic of Version Control just kept coming up. This course is created based on several live training sessions that we have given to ensure that people make small changes and start using git for the right reasons and do not think of it as overhead. What will you learnThis course will walk you through why Git is so popular and accelerate your learning curve with practical examples that you can follow along with. This will take you from renaming your functions with *_v2.m to a much more formal approach that seems like it adds a lot of work and overhead but is actually easy once you get going.
