GitHub Fast Track

Comfortable with git commit but frozen by your first conflict, or unsure every time a Pull Request is due? This course closes that gap — 35 modules, from the basics to working on a team.

What you will master:

• Foundations: what separates Git from GitHub, installation and configuration, creating or cloning your first repository
• Everyday commands: the status → add → commit → push cycle, reading history with log and diff, basic branching, and undoing mistakes with restore, reset and revert
• Access security: HTTPS versus SSH, Personal Access Tokens, SSH key setup — plus the habits that keep your credentials from leaking
• Teamwork: why a branching strategy matters, GitHub Flow versus Git Flow versus trunk-based, branch and commit naming conventions, opening and reviewing Pull Requests, and resolving merge conflicts
• GitHub with Claude Code: setting an AI assistant up safely — .gitignore versus .claudeignore, the permission model, and a leaked-token case study
• Real-world workshop: one end-to-end project with team roles, an incident simulation and a retrospective

Who it is for: developers who have used Git loosely and want to stop fearing they will break someone else’s repository.

Each part closes with a quiz, progress saves itself, and the first three modules are free to read before you decide.
