Git & Github Tutorial For Beginners

This tutorial on Git and Github will go over the basics of Git and Github to get you started and making contributions in no time. I will be going over the basics of what Git and Github are, the concepts that you need to know, and the basic developer's workflow in Git by leading you through each of the most important commands on the command line interface. By the end of this tutorial, you should feel comfortable managing your code on both your computer and your Github repositories.

Note: While the Github setup is specific to Github, other platforms such as Gitlab and BitBucket use git from the CLI in the same fashion, and this knowledge should easily transfer to other platforms as well.

I am also linking to another video of mine that walks you through setting up SSH keys for Github if you are interested in an easier way of working with Github with your SSH keys. https://youtu.be/E-iEAK6mlBI
