DevOps & Git Basics

About This Course

Modern software is not just written — it is built, tested, deployed, and monitored through automated pipelines. DevOps is the discipline that makes all of this possible, bridging the gap between development and operations teams to deliver software faster, more reliably, and at scale.
AWS, DevOps, and cloud certifications are consistently among the top credentials leading to high-paying IT roles in India. This 4-week course gives 3rd and 4th year CS/IT students a practical introduction to the DevOps toolkit — the exact tools used in professional software teams every day.
You will start with Git and GitHub — the universal standard for version control that every developer and IT professional must know. You will then move into Linux command line essentials, Docker containers, and the fundamentals of CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment) pipelines. Every topic is taught through hands-on labs and real workflows, not just slides.
DevOps engineers are among the most valued and well-compensated professionals in the IT industry, and this course gives you the foundation to enter that career path with confidence.
