Prompt Engineering for Git: Working with Remote Repositories & Generative AI

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. GitHub, in conjunction with Git, provides a powerful framework for collaboration in software development. Git handles version control locally, while GitHub extends this functionality by serving as a remote repository, enabling teams to collaborate seamlessly by sharing, reviewing, and managing code changes. In this course, you will begin by setting up a GitHub account and authenticating yourself from the local repo using personal access tokens. You will then push your code to the remote repository and view the commits. Next, you will explore additional features of Git and GitHub using generative AI tools as a guide. You will also create another user to collaborate on your remote repository, and you’ll sync changes made by other users to your local repo. Finally, you will explore how to merge divergent branches. You will discover how to resolve a divergence using the merge method with help from ChatGPT and bring your local repository in sync with remote changes.
