Welcome to the 30 minute free Git and GitHub crash course! Employers and developers everywhere are using Git. This is why you should learn it (and also because it's powerful and a really cool tool!)  Git is a powerful (and VERY popular) versioning tool for web developers. But it's hard to get started because there's a lot to know and everyone assumes you already know the basics.

The core of this course is less than 30 minutes, and you'll learn:

• How to create a repository 
• How to copy it to your computer
• How to add files to your repository
• How to send the changes to GitHub

Plus you'll learn:

• Git fundamentals, and
• GitHub fundamentals

You'll also learn the terminology that developers use, like: cloning, staging, committing, pushing and diff. And you'll learn WHY Git is so popular and HOW it's powerful. And we'll be using GitHub which is the Git-service brand name.

Not sure if you should pay for an 8 hour course on Git? Take this course first to get your feet wet.
