The ability to work with Git and GitHub is a basic requirement for any developer today. Many courses take forever to teach Git.

This course is concise and focuses on those 10-20% of commands that allow you to solve 80-90% of problems that arise in real life. When you’re just starting out with git, you don’t need to waste time learning commands you’ve used a couple of times throughout your career. Moreover, you can always read them later.

So this course will get you started using git and GitHub very quickly. Why learn Git and GitHub? Git and GitHub allow you to easily manage different versions of a large source code base. Git as a version control system is today a de facto standard, and GitHub is the most popular and very convenient public hosting where you can store your software projects.

Without knowledge of git, the path to programming is essentially closed. So you won’t be able to avoid learning git in 95% of cases, unless, of course, you want to become a programmer.
