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.

Every aspiring Software Engineer should take this course. Working on a team is an essential skill every developer must hone. One of the best courses I've taken so far in any learning platform!

Being graded on unix commands was tedious and unnecessary.

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.

The only thing that I can say is that the link to the fork lab to redirect to GitHub contains nothing, so I created my own repository to completa the course

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.

The content was a very good basic intro to VCS and specifically a Git workflow. The course is badly out of date, and many of the class repos are no longer available on GitHub. I'm paying for Coursera and expect the courses to be at least up-to-date enough so that you don't need to go hunting around on GitHub for workarounds.

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.
