You should know a bit about how to work with computers and not be afraid of using the command line a little bit
Willingness to try out new things
Some sort of files that you want to track (i.e. Code, Photos, Documents, etc)

Description

This course takes us step-by-step through some basic GIT operations. The course will not dive too deep, and takes small steps on each of five days. As we continue through the course, we learn a basic, single-person workflow that could allow anyone to store files at GitHub or BitBucket.

Additionally, the course gives us a chance to determine if we want to go to a deeper level with GIT.

Who this course is for:

Anyone who is new to GIT
Anyone who is tired of making copy after copy of files
Anyone who is afraid of losing files to computer or drive failure
At least a little computer saavy

Extremely well handled, beginners course to git. Easy to follow, and will take you through how to basically set up a local repository with a remote repository on github & bitbucket. As Brian explains at the end of the course, this is just the beginning, and you will need a more detailed course to get the best out of Git, this course is just a starting step.
