Learn how to use one of the most common tools for code storage, versioning and team review.

Gerrit is a web-based code review tool, which is integrated with Git and built on top of Git version control system (helps developers to work together and maintain the history of their work). It allows merging changes to Git repository when you are done with the code reviews. In this course the participants would be familiarized with these tools and be prepared to utilize them in their everyday programming work.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Setup working environment, make Git project and create changes, understanding the complete commit flow.
