Git and GitHub Collaboration

Learn repository, branch, pull-request, protection, and delivery workflows used by engineering teams.

Connecting Git to GitHub (with PAT Token)

Push a local project to GitHub with a Personal Access Token, now that password authentication for Git operations is deprecated.

Choose branch protection or rulesets, require reviews and checks, control bypasses, and verify safeguards on important GitHub branches.

Create a GitHub repository, work on a topic branch, open a clear pull request, respond to review, and merge with confidence.

Safely connect an existing Spring Boot project to GitHub, exclude secrets and build output, authenticate, and push the first commit.

What Git and GitHub each actually do, how they differ, and why version control matters — explained without code.

Understand how Git repositories, commits and branches relate to GitHub remotes, default branches, and pull requests.
