Git and GitHub, Stripped Down to the Essentials

This crash course compresses the core of version control into a focused, under-30-minute walkthrough. Rather than covering every feature, it targets the exact steps a developer needs to start using Git and GitHub confidently from the command line.

Who it's for

Web developers taking their next step after learning to code, or anyone unsure whether to invest in a longer, paid Git course.

Key takeaways

Create a repository and clone it to your machine
Add files and stage changes
Commit and push changes to GitHub
Understand core terminology: cloning, staging, committing, pushing, and diff

Everything is done through the command line, the same workflow used when deploying code to a server, so the habits you build here carry directly into real development work.
