How To Use Git Branches To Speed Up Android App Development

You are welcome to take this course if you are an Android developer and you have learned the basics of git version control system. 

You know the differences between commits, branches and tags. You can create, delete and checkout branches. You can browse commit history and probably you know how to do all of these using the command line. 

But you are still wondering how Android app development and git fit together? How can all these git skills actually help you develop android applications? Where can you find an actual code example of developing a simple android app while using git? 

If you have ever faced these questions, than this course is for you! 

I’m going to introduce you to a successful git branching model. You will learn how to use master, develop, feature, release and hotfix branches in your project. You will learn the best practices of using git while working on individual features, fixing critical bugs and preparing your product release. You will learn the theory of using git branches, as well as see some actual code examples. 

We are going to to examine a simple command line example and then we will be using Android studio command line and graphical git interface to develop a simple android app. 

By the end of this course you will be very comfortable with using git in real world projects. Actually you will probably wonder why haven’t you used git before? Next time you’ll be working on a successful android app, you are very likely to be using this git branching model.
