A FREE Git and GitHub Course – 8th batch

Send to KindleA FREE Git and GitHub Course – 8th batch

Registrations are now open for RubyLearning’s popular Git and GitHub course. This is an introductory but an intensive, online course for beginners. Here you’ll learn the essential features of both Git and GitHub that you’ll end up using every day.

What’s Git and GitHub?

Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency, but just as well suited for small personal repositories (collection of resources that can be accessed to retrieve information); it is especially popular in the open source community. With GitHub you can host your public and private projects there and use it to collaborate on projects.

Ruby Master, Josh Susser1 in an interview with RubyLearning said:

First off, get an account on GitHub. (If you haven’t learned git yet, get going on that too – it’s the future for open source SCM.) Then do some exploring around the various projects and see where you think you can jump in and contribute something. Pick a project that is currently under development and has an active community. You’ll have enough going on that you don’t want to be championing a project just yet.
