A practical introduction to Git, automation, containers, CI, monitoring and deployment habits.

Practice pairings

Read the concept, then use a quiz, builder or checklist to make it stick.

How to use this path

Work through one step at a time. The goal is not to finish quickly. The goal is to build a repeatable mental checklist for the topic.

Best rhythm: read for 25 minutes, practise for 25 minutes, then write a five-line summary in your own words.

The path

Step 1

Linux and Git baseline

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 2

Shell scripts and repeatable tasks

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 3

Application logs and config basics

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 4

Containers and images conceptually

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 5

CI pipelines and test thinking

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 6

Infrastructure as code concepts

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 7

Monitoring, alerts and rollback thinking

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Step 8

Small deployment project

Read one focused section, write three notes, run two commands or checks, then record one thing that confused you.

Final project

Finish with a small troubleshooting or build task. Explain what you checked, what changed, and what you would do next if this was a customer ticket or production system.

What to revise

  • Commands you used more than once.
  • Any concept you could not explain without notes.
  • Any risky command that needs a safer dry-run version.
  • The difference between a symptom and a root cause.
