Anyone who works with files and wants to track changes professionally. Perfect for self-taught programmers, designers, writers, data analysts, students, researchers, or anyone collaborating on projects who needs to understand modern version control and team workflows.
You only need basic computer skills - if you can create folders and edit text files, you're ready to start.
Learn Git in a fast, practical, and beginner-friendly way — by building a simple HTML/CSS portfolio website and tracking it with Git from start to finish.
This course is designed for complete beginners who want a clear, hands-on introduction to Git, the most widely used version control system in the world. No prior Git knowledge is required.
We start from zero: installing Git, configuring it, and understanding how version control works. Then we create a small portfolio webpage using basic HTML and CSS, and we use Git to manage every step of its development. This helps you learn Git with a real project, just like you would in a professional environment.
Here’s what you will learn:
What Git is and why developers rely on it
How to install and configure Git on your computer
How to create your first repository
How to track changes with commits and commit messages
How branches work and when to use them
How to merge and resolve merge conflicts
How to publish your project on GitHub
Best practices used by real teams
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use Git confidently in any project and understand all the essential commands used daily by developers.
Let’s build your first Git-powered project together!
