<p>Git, the version control system originally created by Linus Torvalds, has become the standard for collaborative software development and is used by tens of millions of open source projects. To help you master this tool as well as gain essential knowledge of Linux and open source software development practices, The Linux Foundation is offering an <a href="https://training.linuxfoundation.org/linux-courses/development-training/introduction-to-open-source-development-git-and-linux">Introduction to Open Source Development, Git, and Linux (LFD201)</a>, a new training course focused on Linux and Git.</p>
<p>“Open source software development practices lead to better code and faster development, which is why open source has become the dominant model for how the world’s technology infrastructure is built and operates,” said Linux Foundation General Manager, Training & Certification Clyde Seepersad. Thus, it is imperative to understand the fundamental systems and tools involved.</p>
<h3>Course Objectives</h3>
<p>In this course, you will:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Gain a strong foundation of skills for working in open source development communities</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Learn to work comfortably and productively in a Linux environment</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Master important Linux methods and tools</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>You will also learn how to use Git to:</p>
<ul>
