Command Line and Git for Testers
Work where there are no buttons: open a terminal on Windows, macOS or Linux, move around folders, read, copy, edit and compare files, find the errors in a large log, count them and save them for a bug report. Then keep your test files in Git: commit, branch, resolve a conflict, undo safely, push to GitHub with an SSH key and review a pull request as a tester. For learners with ordinary computer skills; no programming needed. Course 9 of the QA Engineer Path.
