Course OVERVIEW

Description

CPE Credits: 1.5 Field of Study: Information Technology
Delivery Method: QAS Self Study

In this course, you will learn the basics of version control for data science with Git. Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle projects of different size, speed, and efficiency. Git has a tiny footprint with lightning-fast performance. Not only that, but it’s also great for anyone who wants to be working on code, making extra changes and still be able to go back to an earlier version.

Prerequisites

Git (available at git-scm.com) and a GitHub account (free at github.com)

Advanced preparation

None

1. Course Introduction

6 Min

In this section, we look at why you should learn how to use Git for version control. Git is a particularly useful tool that will help you keep track of your projects and all the major changes you make in your code. GitHub, on the other hand, enables you to store your code online so you and others can have access to it to create a truly collaborative project. And if that's not enough, working with Git is also a near requirement for any data scientist today.

2. Introduction to Git

34 Min

Here, you will learn how to install and configure Git on your machines, whether you’re a MAC fan or you prefer to use Windows. We will go through the basic command that will give you a solid foundation and understanding of how Git works. You’ll learn how to keep a record of all major changes you make to a document. You will get acquainted with the use of notes while working on several versions of your document. In addition, we will show you how to revisit every record that you’ve made, and how to track its evolution. What is more, we will touch on Branching and will teach you how to work with several people on a single document.

Great course! Which really reveals the misunderstanding and confusion between many concepts. Also, it explains topic gradually step by step.

I’ve been with 365 Data Science for about two years, starting with the Business Analyst course and now working on Data Engineering. My Excel skills improved so much they helped me land two promotions, and my coding knowledge—especially in Python—has grown dramatically. The courses go deeper, helping me understand the mechanisms behind technology. With a set schedule and commitment, the results are real. I highly recommend 365 and look forward to continuing my learning journey.

365 Data Science.

I’ve been using 365 Data Science for a while now, and it’s genuinely helped me grow in so many areas. The platform is really well-designed—everything from learning and practicing to exams and reviewing material feels smooth and intuitive. One thing I truly appreciate is how talented, knowledgeable, and supportive the instructors are. Whenever I had a question, they responded quickly and were always thoughtful and helpful in their answers. I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned in my day-to-day work—across engineering, management, and financial analysis. It’s not just theory—it’s practical, and it’s made a real difference in how I work.
