Prompt Engineering for Git: Leveraging Prompt Engineering to Learn Git

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Version control systems allow you to track changes to your code over time and collaborate on projects. They are widely used in software development, but can also be used for other purposes, such as tracking changes to documentation, website code, or other types of files. Git is a popular version control system that has a steep learning curve for beginners but with help from generative AI tools you’ll find that learning Git is easy and intuitive. In this course, you will start with the basics of Git and learn the difference between local Git repositories and remote repositories on hosting services such as GitHub and GitLab. You will develop prompts with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and use their responses to guide you while you are exploring Git commands. Next, you will learn how to use Git for version control and how to add files to the staging area. After that, you will commit your files to your repository and view all of the commits. Finally, you will learn how to perform operations such as restoring and modifying staged files and how to use commit hashes to uniquely identify commits and perform operations on them.
