Welcome to Zammad Academy.

2
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:10.833
My name is Dusan

3
00:00:10.833 --> 00:00:14.266
and in this video we’ll be providing a
basic introduction to the GitHub platform.

4
00:00:14.766 --> 00:00:15.700
GitHub is a web based

5
00:00:15.700 --> 00:00:18.966
platform that enables developers
to store, manage and share their code.

6
00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:22.266
It's one of the most popular tools
used by developers worldwide

7
00:00:22.266 --> 00:00:23.700
and for a good reason.

8
00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:27.300
GitHub provides a robust set of features
for managing projects, collaborating

9
00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:35.366
with others
and contributing to open source software.

10
00:00:35.366 --> 00:00:38.166
To get started with GitHub,
you'll need to create an account.

11
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:41.266
Simply visit
the GitHub website and follow the prompts

12
00:00:41.266 --> 00:00:57.300
to sign up.

13
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.933
Once you have an account, you can create
a new repository to store your code.

14
00:01:01.633 --> 00:01:04.933
Repositories are like folders
that contain all of your code

15
00:01:04.933 --> 00:01:14.733
and they can be either public or private.

16
00:01:14.733 --> 00:01:16.966
When you're ready to add code
to your repository,

17
00:01:16.966 --> 00:01:19.800
you can use get a command line
tool for version control.

18
00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:23.700
Git enables you to keep track of changes
to your code over time,

19
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:27.233
collaborate with others
on the same project and roll back changes

20
00:01:27.233 --> 00:01:35.233
if something goes wrong.

21
00:01:35.233 --> 00:01:39.433
GitHub also provides GitHub Desktop:
a graphical user interface application

22
00:01:39.433 --> 00:01:47.433
that provides an easier way to interact
with Git and GitHub repositories.

23
00:01:47.433 --> 00:01:50.633
First, you'll need to download GitHub
Desktop from GitHub website.

24
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.300
The download should start automatically

25
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:54.433
and once it's finished
you can open the installer

26
00:01:54.433 --> 00:01:59.000
and follow the prompts
to install the application.

27
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.533
Once the installation process is complete,
you can open GitHub desktop and log in

28
00:02:02.533 --> 00:02:14.466
with your GitHub account credentials.

29
00:02:14.466 --> 00:02:17.566
To get started with GitHub Desktop,
you'll need to clone the repository.

30
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.000
Cloning the repository

31
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.933
means downloading a copy of the repository
to your local machine

32
00:02:22.166 --> 00:02:31.900
so that you can work on it
and make changes.

33
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:49.166
Once you've cloned the repository,
you can start making changes to the code.

34
00:02:49.166 --> 00:02:52.566
GitHub Desktop makes it easy
to create new branches for your changes

35
00:02:52.566 --> 00:02:55.600
and to commit and push those changes
to the remote repository

36
00:02:55.600 --> 00:03:00.966
on the GitHub.

37
00:03:00.966 --> 00:03:04.733
You can also pull changes from the remote
repository to keep your local copy

38
00:03:04.733 --> 00:03:27.400
up to date with the latest changes
from other contributors.

39
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.800
GitHub also provides a web based interface
that makes it easy to manage your code,

40
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:43.500
collaborate with others and contribute
to open source projects.

41
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:56.866
Join us in the next series of videos
for example workflows.

42
00:03:56.866 --> 00:03:59.700
Overall, GitHub is an essential tool
for any developer,

43
00:03:59.700 --> 00:04:01.766
whether you're
working on an open source project

44
00:04:01.766 --> 00:04:04.600
or building an application
for your own business.

45
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:06.533
We hope this introduction has been helpful

46
00:04:06.533 --> 00:04:09.633
and we'll look forward to seeing you
in future Zammad Academy videos.
