The most interesting part for me was the final project that had to do with all the knowledge gathered from the beginning of the course. It was more practical and engaging.

Course structure was good and informative. But the CLI on which final GIT assigment must be done should be updated and clear. I noticed sometimes when the commands are entered, multiple lines are appearing and seems distorted. Apart from that everything was fine.

Narration and wording seems overly complex and is more confusing than it needs to be. I used the GitHub resources and it made a lot more sense and took less time...
