Version Control & CI/CD Mastery

Learn Git down to its objects and DAG, then automate testing, builds, and deploys with GitHub Actions.

What you’ll walk away with

Explain and use Git's internal object model (blobs, trees, commits, refs) to reason about what commands actually do to the DAG
Write atomic, conventional commits and configure Git hooks to enforce commit quality automatically
Structure and manage repos at scale, including working with remotes, monorepos, and Git LFS for large files
Run a clean collaboration workflow using pull requests, code reviews, and protected branches
Build a GitHub Actions pipeline that tests, builds, deploys, and can roll back on failure
Debug messy Git history and repo structure problems using a real understanding of Git internals rather than memorized commands

Where this leads

Production Developer

You can take a feature from spec to production with Claude Code — architected, secured, tested, and shipped.

Questions people ask before they start

Do I need to already understand Git branching and merging before starting?

You should be comfortable with basic day-to-day Git commands (commit, push, pull, branch). This course goes deeper into internals, history crafting, repo engineering, and CI/CD rather than starting from zero.

Will this teach me GitHub Actions specifically, or CI/CD in general?

The CI/CD module is built around GitHub Actions specifically, covering test, build, deploy, and rollback stages of a pipeline.

Is this course focused on Git theory or practical repo work?

Both — you'll study Git internals (objects, refs, the DAG) to understand why commands behave the way they do, then apply that in practical lessons on commit hygiene, hooks, remotes, monorepos, LFS, PR workflows, and pipelines.

Does the course cover working with large files or multi-project repos?

Yes, the Repo Engineering lesson covers remotes, monorepos, and Git LFS for handling large files.

How does this course handle collaboration and code review workflows?

The Collaboration Flow lesson covers pull requests, reviews, and protected branches as the mechanics of working safely with a team on shared history.

What does 'rollback' mean in the CI/CD lesson — is it just deployment, or recovery too?

The CI/CD with GitHub Actions lesson explicitly covers rollback alongside test, build, and deploy, so you'll learn how to recover a pipeline when a deployment goes wrong, not just how to ship.
