Git and GitHub Crash Course For Beginners | Complete Tutorial [2024]

[@jildigere]

Cameron is my type of guy. After long search of the right tutor for me, i found cameron. Thanks Man.

[@cameronmcnz]

You'll change your tune when you get my tutoring bill. 💰💰💰 I really enjoyed putting this git and github tutorial together, and it's exhilarating seeing it get more than the typical 200 views my videos normally get. Thanks again for watching and for the kind words!

[@chethanmg7]

@@cameronmcnz haha.

[@shofada]

This is how teaching particularly teaching tech-related content should be done.

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks for the kind words! I really saw this Git and GitHub tutorial as a journey through the various commands, starting from the basics and working to the advance. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@mapleafstoronto3862]

This is the best tutorial of Git & GitHub for beginger. After I watched this, I can understand what others saying. Thanks

[@cameronmcnz]

Exactly what I'd expect a fellow Torontonian to say! Quite frankly though, this is not great for a true 'beginner.' There are lots of other really simple, 'beginner tutorials' that outrank me on Google. My videos tend to move quickly and I assume a much higher level of technical competency that other, similar tutorials. If you found this tutorial helpful, it's an indication of the fact that you're probably more advanced and more knowledgeable than the typical person searching for a Git and GitHub tutorial. Thanks for viewing, and I am glad I helped! If you did understand what I covered here, I grant you expert status. This tutorial covers just about every Git porcelain command there is. Go Leafs Go!

[@rolandrooseveltagodzo5974]

Your style of teaching is so unique...so inviting, not intimidating at all, so easy to follow and understand. Thank you!!

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks for the kind words. Git and GitHub are indeed intimidating topics. I'm so glad I made these important DevOps tools more approachable for you. Thanks for watching!

[@HappyHealthyWealthyYou]

totally! great teacher!!

@@HappyHealthyWealthyYou Thanks for the encouragement! Honestly, it's Git and GitHub that makes it fun. I'm just a conduit to the Git and GitHub goodness!

[@turteschris3191]

I wish this video had more views and recognition. Cameron really gets into how it makes sense when connecting with github AND how development works!

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I really enjoyed putting this together, and I really wanted this to feel like a continuous journey, not just a bunch of mini-tutorials. I too would love to see more hits, but my channel has never managed to win the KZbin algo war. Here's hoping one day it will!

[@Kevlam-d7l]

Honestly, I loved how you talked about everything. The reason I loved it was because you went into even the little details that really helped me piece together everything and also helped me understand the underlying concepts. Even though instead of an hour it was almost 2 hours, those little details, diagrams, and also the fact that you showed it in action in the terminal and Git Bash really helped piece together everything so that I would not get stuck at all when I go off to do it on my own while creating my projects. It was the first time I actually saw someone explain everything so perfectly. I'm sure it took you hours to make it, and I'm sure you checked over the video many times and practiced many times as well. But I want to say that I really appreciate the effort that you put in and that it has helped me a lot. I am sure that just like how it has helped me, it has also helped many others, so thank you for all the effort you put in.

[@cameronmcnz]

This is the best comment I've ever got! It was honestly a lot of fun making this, and yeah, there were a lot of takes and retakes to try and make it fairly seamless. I also spent a lot of time on the editing phase to put graphics in to make it more visually appealing. Still lots of things I'd change as I'm learning more about editing and lighting etc. By the way, I have a GitHub Desktop video that's 30 minutes long. It was supposed to be just a 'how to install' but I got carried away. It was actually all done in a single take, which I personally find amusing. Thanks so much for the kind comment. It really lifted my spirits in a big way!

[@Kevlam-d7l]

@@cameronmcnz Haha you're going to be getting many more comments like this in the future that I can 100% guarantee after seeing your way of explaining everything and the amount of effort you are willing to put into every video that you make. I am going to watch your GitHub Desktop video now as well. I will be looking forward to your future videos. It's nice to see that you are taking less takes to make your videos because I know that it's very hard to quickly make seamless videos that have graphics.

Cameron, it doesn't get much better than your teaching style. Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial and post it. You have a new subscriber.

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I've always been known for short, 2-minute videos that just solve a specific problem. This was my first foray into long-form content. I really enjoyed doing this, and it makes me feel great knowing it's resonated with a few people.

[@nesarahmadbahin432]

Two hours, I did not even notice how it passed and now I am very confident in Git and its concepts.

[@cameronmcnz]

You had the volume on, right? Most people get annoyed by the sound of my voice after about 3 minutes. Glad you enjoyed it. Git and GitHub really are awesome tools. And honestly, I shouldn't bill this as a 'beginner' tutorial. It's super advanced, and if you were able to keep up, you've been exposed to just about everything you'll even encounter in Git. Thanks for watching!

I have come across many tutors, teachers, coaches and so on, but your style of teaching is phenomenal and unique. You are like reading my mind how I should grasp concepts in a building block, cascading and retentive way. You are not leaving any minor detail. You have a multifaceted way of walking us through the content. I am able to follow you easily without making errors in my Git Bash and GitHub. Keep it up. I wish I met you before. I would love you teaching me programming especially in Python and Java.

I'm 23 minutes from the end of this video, about to start on the "grand slam" portion, and I just wanted to pause to say that this video has been phenomenal. I've learned so much and have been able to work ahead of you for a decent portion in the last 3rd of this tutorial. This is the first video I've seen of yours and just based on this one video, you are great at teaching. Thank you!

[@cameronmcnz]

There are so many great videos out there on GitHub already, so I take that as high praise! Fact is, Git makes things pretty easy. The tool gets all the credit. All I did was click some buttons and talk too much. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

[@टिरंजननकले]

[@alimansimov1929]

I now know how to work on git and github. If there are two big things in the life, this definitly one of them, you teach many people whos you do not know personally, so maybe they can earn both them and their family's food, and you helped on this without getting money (i mean free). This is quite big, at least I think so. Thanks to you a lot

Thanks so much for the kind words! And yes, when people see they can create a file and do a commit online with GitHub, it becomes less intimidating. Then when they clone and do some Git commands, it hopefully makes a bit more sense. I really enjoyed putting this tutorial together, so it's extra-rewarding to hear you enjoyed it!

[@Tekttskskwdi]

Also can you make similar introduction tutorial for docker with dockerization on web app project.

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks for the kind words! To be quite honest, I felt bad calling this a 'beginners' tutorial because I think it moves *very* quickly and covers very advanced topics. If you were able to keep up and still understand the content, that's more a reflection of you as an adept learner than anything else. Have fun working with Git and GitHub!

[@cameronmcnz]

@@Tekttskskwdi Actually, I have a very quick tutorial on dockerizing an app on NGinx that I think is one of my most popular, but it is more of a 'quick how-to' for people that know Docker than a tutorial.

Great teaching method there. You picked a very simple and effective method of naming the files using a familiar system avoiding extra cognitive load of remembering file creation order etc. Looked like a quickie at the end but stash makes it really useful when you want to stash changes in a file rather than the whole file. Great tutorial nonetheless. Thanks for providing it for free.

Infact the files in the INDEX can be viewed by running the command : git ls-files --stage

I understand that git checkout is not recommended. So what should be used for if you want to be on a specific commit of a branch? For example, a tester might need to test something on an older commit. In VSCode, there is a “checkout” option for that. But is there another way?

[@cameronmcnz]

I think checkout will still be used for times when an actual 'checkout' of something is needed. As of now, I don't think you can switch to a specific git commit, while with checkout it's a core feature.

[@cameronmcnz]

@@TheIntrovertsDebrief-lq4hg Oh, Git can really be overwhelming. But there's a real elegance to it, and once you kinda know how the pieces all fit together, you really start to understand how the whole Git thing works. I really enjoyed doing this tutorial, and it's great to hear others getting something out of it!

So am I right in saying that we can also add an SSH key to be able to push to origin without needing to sign in each time?

I actually did not get the parent folder with the ".git". Checking the status, I get fatal: not a git repository help would be greatly appreciated

[@cameronmcnz]

Not a git repository definitely means the command is being run in a place that is not a git repo. The repo may have been cloned to a subfolder. Do an ls command or a dir command and see if there is a subfolder there. Then cd into that subfolder and do a git status Definitely open the folder up in Windows Explore and look to see what folders and subfolders are there. If you clone a repo, a folder with the repo name should be created. It is INSIDE that folder where you'll find the .git directory and you can run the git status command.

I'm honestly surprised if anyone ever gets past the 30 second mark, let alone the 30 minute mark.

Hey man, is MERN stack ( Plain React and not Nextjs or other metaframeworks ) a good tech stack for freelancing ?

[@cameronmcnz]

I know a lot of devs who have made a lot of money off the MERN stack. It's not bad, that's for sure!
