Duration 2 days – 14 hrs
Overview
This hands-on training course is designed to equip developers and QA professionals with the essential skills to manage source code using Git and Bitbucket. Participants will learn how to create, clone, commit, branch, merge, and collaborate using Git, while also exploring Bitbuckets interface for managing repositories, pull requests, permissions, and pipelines. Real-world exercises and project simulations will reinforce version control concepts and collaborative Dev-QA workflows.
