Requirements

  • No prior GitHub or version control experience required. You should have basic familiarity with using a computer and, ideally, some exposure to writing or editing code. If you've never used GitHub before, this course starts from the very beginning.

Description

Have you ever pushed code and prayed nothing broke, or felt lost the moment someone mentioned rebasing or pull requests? This course was built for you.

GitHub for Beginners is a clear, step by step introduction to the version control system every developer needs to know. No prior GitHub experience needed. Just practical teaching that takes you from installing GitHub to confidently managing real repositories.

In this course you will learn:

  • How to install and set up GitHub and connect it to your workflow

  • How to create a repository, log in, and organize your projects from the start

  • How to make your first commit and understand what version control actually does

  • How to use branches and pull requests to work on code without breaking the main project

  • How to rebase your work cleanly and avoid messy commit histories

  • How to protect important branches and assign code owners to keep projects safe

  • How to automate tasks using GitHub Actions and workflows

  • How to keep your repositories secure using GitHub's built in security tools

This course is produced by CodeWithPurpose, a global nonprofit bringing free tech education to students across 130 countries and 30 languages. Every lesson is designed with one goal in mind: to make knowledge that used to be reserved for university classrooms accessible to absolutely anyone, anywhere in the world.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for beginner developers, students, and hobbyist coders who want to understand GitHub instead of just copying commands they don't fully understand. It's ideal for anyone starting their first coding project, joining a team for the first time, or preparing to collaborate on real world software. No prior GitHub experience is needed, just a willingness to learn version control the right way from the start.
