Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to enable students not only to write code, but also to plan, monitor, organize, and share the software development process. By the end of the course, students are expected to use command-line tools, perform basic version control operations with Git, prepare technical documentation, and recognize and apply fundamental workflows for teamwork.
Course Content
This course covers command-line usage, version control with Git, basic workflows in local and remote repositories, branching and merging operations, conflict resolution, technical documentation with Markdown, issue tracking, and the fundamental concepts of agile software development. Practical activities are carried out primarily in offline and local environments; collaboration scenarios are supported through shared folders, bare repositories, and, when available, local network/Gitea infrastructure. Online processes such as GitHub, Fork, Pull Request, and CI/CD are addressed at the level of demonstration and basic awareness.
Course Precondition
Having completed the Fundamentals of Programming course.
Resources
Course notes will be provided by the instructor. Up-to-date documents and practical examples related to Git fundamentals, Markdown usage, and basic agile software development concepts will be used as supporting materials. Recommended resources include Pro Git, Git for Windows usage notes, introductory Markdown guides, and practice handouts prepared by the instructor.
