Introduction to Git
After three days you will be able to use Git confidently in a team, whether for application code, Terraform modules or Helm charts. From commits and branches through merge conflicts and GitHub workflows to open-source contributions and Gitea. You work hands-on in your own cloud environment.
Workshop Details
What makes this workshop stand out
What you will learn and take away
After three days of Git training you will work confidently with version control in a team. Whether you version application code, Terraform modules or Helm charts: the workflows are identical. Here is what you take away:
- Master commits, branches and merges: work confidently with git switch, git merge and git rebase and resolve conflicts routinely in the terminal and in VS Code
- Apply GitHub workflows: open pull requests, review code and organize task planning with issues
- Contribute to open source: walk through the complete cycle of fork, upstream sync and pull request on a real project
All exercises run in our cloud environment. No local setup, no hassle. You take working knowledge home with you.
Want to continue? Our GitLab CI/CD training shows you how to build Git-based pipelines.
Why the investment pays off
Without consistent version control your team wastes time on manual file comparisons, overwritten changes and unclear responsibilities. This Git training changes that:
- Traceable changes: every modification is documented, every version recoverable. No more "who changed that?" and file chaos
- Faster collaboration: your team works on features in parallel without blocking each other. Pull requests and code reviews become the standard
- Platform independence: your team learns both GitHub and the self-hosted alternative Gitea, so you can decide freely later
- Dev and Ops on the same page: the same Git workflows apply to application code, Terraform modules and Helm charts. Your entire team speaks one language
Small groups of up to 8 participants, so we can address questions from your specific project context.
Prerequisites
Required:
- Comfortable use of a text editor or IDE
- Basic experience with the terminal (creating files, navigating directories)
Not required:
- Programming skills (Git works with any type of file: code, Terraform, YAML, documentation)
- Prior experience with Git or other version control systems
Our Linux training provides the ideal preparation if you do not yet have terminal experience.

Testimonials
How participants experience our trainings
Based on 1047+ participant reviewsacross all DevNinjas trainings
"My colleagues specifically looked for a sysadmin course for Docker with another provider and had an instructor who only set up an IDE for them and then only worked on a task sheet with development tasks. I had a course with lots of background information, an instructor who had a really extensive knowledge of the whole subject matter beyond the slides, and I feel optimally informed."
"From my perspective, the workshop had the right speed and an appropriate level of challenge. The subject matter was explained clearly by the instructor and practically consolidated with well-distributed exercises. Adjusting the workshop focus to the participants wishes was not a problem. Valuable practical experiences were shared, and even more specific questions were gladly answered. The instructor's professional expertise and extensive practical experience on the subject gave this workshop a special quality."
