An interactive GitHub Skills exercise that teaches new users repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests in under an hour. Learners copy the exercise repo to their account and follow bot-guided steps to create a branch, commit a file, and merge a pull request.

Use cases

  • learn github basics
  • how to create a pull request
  • git branches and commits tutorial for beginners
  • first day on github exercise
  • make a github profile readme
  • hands-on git learning course

When to choose

  • you are brand new to GitHub or Git
  • you want a quick guided hands-on exercise rather than reading docs
  • you are a student or educator introducing version control

When to avoid

  • you already know branching, commits, and pull requests
  • you need deep Git or GitHub Actions training
  • you want offline or self-paced material without GitHub Actions
