GitHub Foundations Part 1 of 2

The first half of a beginner GitHub path

This Microsoft Learn path introduces the core ideas and products of GitHub in a concise, beginner-friendly format. It is part one of two and totals about 6 hours and 44 minutes across eight modules.

Modules and what they add

• Git and GitHub basics, then a tour of GitHub's products
• Code scanning configuration for security
• GitHub Copilot, Codespaces and Projects for organizing work
• Markdown for communicating clearly on GitHub

Work through it in order if you are new to the platform, since the product overview at the start gives context for the rest. The second part of the set picks up where this one ends.
