• Choose the right branching strategy for your team

Why this course works

Short theory lectures are paired with code along exercises and practice labs, so you are always applying what you learn in your own terminal. Every command is taught in the context of a real workflow, not as isolated trivia.

What you walk away with

A working Git setup, a published GitHub profile, a downloadable cheat sheet covering every command in the course, hands on labs, and a certificate of completion.

Who this is for

Aspiring developers, data analysts and scientists, bootcamp students, and self taught coders who want to close the gaps in their workflow and stop fearing the terminal.

Requirements

A computer, an internet connection, and a free GitHub account (we will set one up together). That’s it.
