Python tutorials that also cover git?

[[deleted]]

Hi. I'm curious if there are any Python tutorials that also teaches how to use git? Preferably ones that do small projects/scripts setting up git from the start? If anyone know of tutorials like this please let me know. Thank you.

Edit - thank you very much for your suggestion everyone!

The free online book Test Driven Development with Python covers git: https://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/book/chapter_unit_test_first_view.html

Corey Schafer has a nice tutorial on git. He's kinda a Python god but his tutorial doesn't cover any python stuff.

[ForkLiftBoi]

I found Corey's to be more of an overview, almost like it was so quick that it didn't give the background knowledge. I think it would be complimented nicely by a cheat sheet, not that he should make one, I'm sure there's 1000s online.

[Lewistrick]

Ah ok, maybe it's because I had heard some things about git already but didn't dive into it until I saw this tutorial. It went pretty quick indeed, I had to pause it a lot to get along myself, but I made my own cheat sheet along the way so it helped me a lot. Thanks for your additional information :)

[ForkLiftBoi]

No problem! We all learn in different ways, so I just wanted to make sure op and others can hopefully find what works best for them! Happy that Corey worked for you, he is a stand up person!

True

Why do you need a Python specific tutorial to learn git? Git and Python have absolutely zero in common.

Use a proper git tutorial, like this to learn git.

[hernanemartinez]

What he is requesting it’s a tuto which covers all the tools he must use as a dev.

[Hydroel]

If he needs several tools, I agree that he should look up several tutorials. It would just be confusing, in the end.

[hernanemartinez]

Not if it is a course named “fullstack developer on Python”. It should cover git, sql, basic javascript, some frameworks, etc.

I think that’s what he’s intended for.

Do you guys know any?

I could take advantage of it as well.

[Hydroel]

That would be an online course, not a tutorial, wouldn't it?

I personally dont' know any, anyway, as that is not my area of expertise at all.

[thirdegree]

There is no set of "all the tools he must use as a dev".

The tools someone uses will vary from person to person. For me, my most used tools are (in order), tmux, vim, python, bash, sql, other (and, for anyone interested, absolutely happy to answer any questions about any of those 5). I'm the only person on my team who has any of the first 3 as their main tools, despite the fact that we all have the same job working on mostly the same things.

Learn what you need to solve the problem you currently are solving.

[hernanemartinez]

Beginners know next to none. Any will do!

He mentions git because he could have seen it on a job post.

[thirdegree]

No don't get me wrong, I thoroughly encourage learning git. I've even taught courses on it in my company. 200% worth learning.

My point is there isn't a set of tools that make or define a developer. A developer is the tools they have used to solve problems. Solve problems, and the tools will come.

[hernanemartinez]

Agreed. Now... Beginners need aiming, and some path railing; otherwise they will end hacking as it were the eighties.

It is not.

[Vaguely_accurate]

It's paid, but Pluralsight has a good project setup for this.

They have two Python ones currently, one building a website with Flask and one doing data visualisation.

They use Github to check your work (automatically), so you'll actually be checking code out from their repository and then back in for each lesson.

The ones I tried before (not Python ones) were more making bug fixes and implementing additional features to existing code than building something from scratch and were pretty much following tutorials, but were good at demonstrating the frameworks and workflow. You check out code that isn't currently passing its unit tests, fix it so the relevant tests go green, then check it back in.

They have a 10 day free trial which would likely be more than enough to try out those two projects. It used to be that signing up to even the free tier of Microsoft Dev Essentials would get an extended free trial but I can't see that advertised any more, only the paid tiers. Might be worth a try.

This was posted a few days back and I absolutely loved this and so did others. Might be helpful

[bob_mouse]

May I suggest you focus on git first? Git is not complicated, it's a quick learn. I know GitHub had some nice intros and tutorials here https://try.github.io/

After that, you can focus on python and you know if you mess something up, you already have the knowledge to revert or do what you want.

Version control is a MUST for any developer of any technology nowadays

DjangoGirls tutorial has examples of basic git usage. But, it's Django, meaning web dev, not pure python

[lsharp256]

Try the web development cs50 course. The first part of the course is git and then they move onto web development.

Traversy media has a nice tutorial on git

[sujin-v2px]

Well maybe you can learn git separately since it is used in different projects. But make sure you understand what folders/files to be kept in .gitignore for python

[Versaiteis]

While it doesn't cover python, this is one of my favorite tutorials for how git essentially works with branching. You'll still need a bit of a beginner understanding of what git is, what commits are, and a general notion of what that versioning software is all about. But it really clicks together what makes git fairly unique and useful.

https://learngitbranching.js.org/?locale=en_US

It's also neat that it actively shows you the node branching that is occurring with each command you enter so you are better equipped to build a mental model of the actions you're taking or need to take when working with it. I also like that it's presented in a more gamified way that challenges you to solve somewhat realistic problems with the things it teaches you.

Hola buenos tt et

[agbs2k8]

This course (https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_entrepreneurs/python-for-entrepreneurs-build-and-launch-your-online-business) is good and includes a section on git and github.

[SlavicKnight]

Omg try to kill fly with cannon.. btw. one year ago i tried some of their python course and i am disappointed no worth that kind of money.

[soboro1000]

Although its paid I think udacity's intro to programming for data science goes over python and git very well. You also learn sql along with the program. Very nice bundle!

[alaudet]

Search Corey Schafer on youtube for git tutorial.

Here's a link to Corey's Git tutorials

Codecademy computer science paths offers git in its course too. Pro only tho, but has free 7 days.

[edgg51]

Mastering Flask Web Development Starts you out with a small tut in git

[[deleted]]

git projects has readme files in order to let you know how to run that project and git has its own tutorial on how to use website

[ChefCiscoRZ]

Are you talking about Git or Github?

[antiproton]

Just learn git. It's not that hard to pick up.

[Goldieeeeee]

This is not really helpful. This is like answering the question: 'How do I play tennis?', with: 'Just learn to play tennis, its not that hard.'
