Hey everyone! I've been diving into a Java course from the University of Helsinki, and recently came across a video where the presenter was pushing his solutions to GitHub. I have to admit, I'm not well-versed in Git or GitHub, and I'm wondering if it's something I should regularly use or at least know how to use for my course. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Learning Git is super useful, especially for teamwork. It helps you collaborate effectively on projects!
If you're serious about coding, getting comfortable with Git is pretty essential. You don't have to use it specifically for your MOOC, but practicing with it will definitely benefit you in the long run.
Being familiar with Git is pretty much a requirement in most coding jobs. That said, it’s not just about knowing Git; it's more about working on bigger projects with others. You’ll learn a lot from contributing to open source, like cloning a repo or making pull requests. But don’t stress if you’re not a Git expert, just having basic skills is usually enough for interviews. You'll pick it up quickly!
Totally agree! The basics are easy to learn, but knowing some advanced stuff like rebasing can really up your game.
Absolutely! And the best part is that it’s pretty straightforward to pick up.
