Learn how to use GitHub in GitHub using interactive exercises.
README.md

Advance your GitHub journey

Learn how to use GitHub with interactive courses designed for beginners and experts.

  • Learning should be fun: There are no simulations or boring tutorials here, just hands-on lessons created by GitHub and taught inside Issues using GitHub Actions.
  • Real projects: Learn new skills while working in your own copy of a real project.
  • Helpful guidance: Your favorite Octocat provides instructions and feedback throughout your journey.
  • Real workflow: Everything happens with real GitHub features, such as Issues, Actions, and Codespaces.

Get started building your own exercises with the same tooling the team uses. 🌟
