Python Git Course

Welcome to the Python Git Course

Master Git and Python in One Practical Curriculum

This course is designed to help you build a strong foundation in both Python programming and Git version control. Over the span of 8 weeks, you’ll write code, manage files, track changes with Git, and collaborate using GitHub β€” all with hands-on practice and real-world examples.

What You’ll Learn

  • Python fundamentals β€” variables, data structures, loops, and functions
  • Data analysis β€” loading, cleaning, and analyzing datasets using Python
  • Git version control β€” repositories, commits, branches, merges, and remotes
  • GitHub collaboration β€” cloning, pull requests, and managing contributions
  • Project organization β€” best practices for clean, reproducible code
