The GitHub Course is designed to equip participants with practical skills in using GitHub for version control, collaboration, and managing code repositories. GitHub is an essential tool for developers and teams, enabling them to store, share, and collaborate on software projects efficiently. This course will cover everything from setting up repositories to advanced GitHub workflows, including pull requests, code reviews, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines.

High-Level Training Flow – GitHub Course

1. Training Needs Analysis (TNA)
   Assess participants' current understanding of version control, Git, and collaborative development practices to define course objectives. The TNA will identify participants’ familiarity with GitHub, GitHub workflows, and their experience level with code collaboration.

2. Curriculum Finalization & Agenda Approval
   Confirm course modules, session schedules, and learning outcomes. Core topics will include:

   • Introduction to GitHub and its core features

   • Creating and managing repositories

   • Working with Git and GitHub together (clone, commit, push, pull)

   • Collaborating through GitHub issues, branches, and pull requests

   • Code review workflows and best practices

   • Integrating GitHub with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
     The agenda will be approved to ensure it meets organizational and participant needs.

3. Environment Setup
   Set up the required tools, including GitHub accounts for participants, repository access, and necessary permissions. Ensure that participants have a functional development environment (IDE, Git, access to GitHub) and can follow along with the training.

4. Content Preparation
   Develop slides, demos, hands-on exercises, and case studies. Content will cover the following:

   • GitHub basics (repositories, commits, branches, pull requests)

   • Managing teams and permissions in GitHub

   • Collaborative workflows (Fork and Pull Request model)

   • Issues and project management in GitHub

   • Continuous integration and deployment with GitHub Actions

   • Advanced GitHub features (security, automation, integration with other tools)

5. Training Delivery
   Conduct live sessions combining theory, demonstrations, and practical exercises. Participants will learn how to:

   • Create and manage GitHub repositories

   • Perform Git operations (clone, commit, push, pull) in GitHub

   • Collaborate using GitHub's branching and pull request system

   • Conduct code reviews and manage pull requests efficiently

   • Use GitHub Issues and Projects for managing tasks and bugs

   • Set up automated workflows with GitHub Actions

6. Daily Recap & Lab Review
   Summarize the day’s key concepts, review lab exercises, and answer participant questions. This helps participants consolidate their knowledge of GitHub features, GitHub workflows, and collaborative processes.

7. Assessment & Project Submission
   Evaluate participants through quizzes, hands-on exercises, and a final project. The project will involve setting up a GitHub repository, implementing a basic GitHub workflow with pull requests, code reviews, and integrating with GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

8. Feedback Collection
   Collect feedback from participants on course content, pacing, and the clarity of exercises and demonstrations. This feedback is used to make adjustments for future training sessions and ensure the training meets participant expectations.

9. Post-Training Support
   Provide ongoing support through Q&A sessions, Slack/Telegram groups, or email for troubleshooting, advanced GitHub features, and integrating GitHub into real-world projects. Participants can continue to ask questions and discuss practical applications of GitHub in their work environments.

10. Training Report Submission
    Document attendance, assessment results, project completion, and participant feedback. A comprehensive report summarizing the training outcomes will be submitted to corporate clients or internal management, showcasing participants’ readiness to effectively use GitHub for version control and collaboration.
