Git is the foundation of modern software collaboration, yet the first steps can feel confusing: repositories, commits, branches, remotes, and pull requests all introduce new concepts at once. This beginner-friendly course turns that complexity into a clear, hands-on workflow so you can track your work confidently and collaborate through GitHub. Across six progressively structured lessons, you will learn how version control works, how Git differs from GitHub, and how to configure your local environment. You will practice the essential local workflow of checking changes, staging files, creating meaningful commits, and reviewing project history. From there, you will create and merge branches, connect a local repository to GitHub, push and pull changes, and keep your work synchronized with a remote project. The course also introduces the collaboration habits that make GitHub effective, including pull requests, code review, and shared development workflows. In the final lesson, you will work through merge conflicts and apply a repeatable process for inspecting, resolving, and validating conflicting changes. This course is designed for students, aspiring developers, career changers, and anyone who wants a reliable foundation in Git and GitHub without assuming prior version-control experience. You will learn by working through practical tasks rather than memorizing isolated commands. Start building the version-control skills used in real software projects and make your first confident contribution with Git and GitHub.
