Questions before you start

What do I need GitHub for?

GitHub is your go-to platform for collaborating on code, tracking project changes, and building software with others.

Whether you’re working solo, with a team, or contributing to open-source projects, it keeps your work organized, backs up your files, and makes teamwork easier.

What are the basics of GitHub?

The basics include creating repositories (folders for your project), committing (saving) changes, branching (working on different versions), merging updates, and collaborating via pull requests.

You’ll also use issues for tracking tasks and wikis for documentation. Learn these fundamental GitHub actions in our online course to create a strong dev profile.

Can I appear for the GitHub Foundations certification after taking this course?

This GitHub Essentials training covers key concepts that align with the certification, but you’ll need to check GitHub’s official site for the latest exam details and costs.

Can I learn GitHub without coding?

Absolutely! GitHub isn’t just for developers. Writers, designers, and project managers use it for docs, design files, and task tracking. You’ll need basic Git commands, but no advanced coding skills.

Can I learn Python on GitHub?

Yes! GitHub hosts tons of free Python projects, tutorials, and open-source code. You can study others’ work, contribute, or even host your own Python projects.
