You need to explain the basics a lot more before jumping straight into actually using GitHub. There are still a lot of things I don’t fully understand, such as what certain symbols mean, where to find different features, and what they are used for. Some topics are only mentioned briefly, which can make it difficult for someone who has never used GitHub before.
The instructor is very good and demonstrates the steps clearly and effectively. I would just like to see an additional section that focuses specifically on beginner basics before moving into the hands-on work. For someone completely new to GitHub, it would be helpful to first learn what the different symbols, buttons, and features are, where they are located, and what they do before being expected to start using them.

Course details
Version Control lets you manage changes you've made to files over time, and is an essential skill for developers to master. Git is by far the most popular version control system on the web. In this fast-paced course, Ray Villalobos shows you the fundamental commands that you need to work with most Git projects. He explains how to use checkpoints called commits, which let you leave messages documenting what happened at each checkpoint, as well as how to create branches that are alternate versions of your project that you can work on without changing the original. Ray also shows how to work with the popular GitHub website, going in depth with repositories and projects. Learn about pull requests, how to conduct a code review, and how to clone existing projects onto your local hard drive and use them as templates. Plus, learn about the social aspects of GitHub so you can get comments, opinions, and advice to help you refine your projects.
