DevOps Essentials and Version Control with Git

Master DevOps fundamentals and modern software development practices

DevOps has transformed the way organisations build, test, and deliver software, enabling faster releases, greater collaboration, and more reliable applications. Understanding DevOps principles and version control is essential for anyone starting a career in modern software development.

On this three-week course, you’ll explore the foundations of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), DevOps culture, and the practices that support continuous delivery. You’ll learn how Agile methodologies, CI/CD, and collaborative workflows help development and operations teams deliver software more efficiently.

By combining theory with practical exercises, you’ll develop the knowledge and confidence to work within modern DevOps environments.

Explore Git and version control for collaborative development

Version control is at the heart of every successful software project. This course introduces you to Git, the industry-standard version control system used by developers around the world.

As your skills progress, you’ll explore advanced Git techniques, preparing you to collaborate confidently within professional development teams.

Learn GitHub Actions for DevOps workflows

You’ll explore the key stages of the DevOps lifecycle and complete hands-on exercises to integrate Git into DevOps workflows using GitHub Actions. This will help you understand how automation streamlines development, testing, and deployment while improving collaboration.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a strong foundation in DevOps, Git, and version control, as well as practical skills that prepare you for more advanced cloud, automation, and software engineering technologies.

This course is designed for beginners, including students, technology enthusiasts, and professionals who want to understand modern software development practices and DevOps fundamentals.

It is also suitable for developers and IT professionals looking to transition from traditional development approaches to collaborative, version-controlled workflows.

No prior DevOps experience is required, but basic familiarity with programming concepts will be helpful.
