This class is about Git, the most popular version control system in the world. Students will learn some of the most used and important git commands and the concepts behind them. They’ll also learn how to upload their code to Github and how to host a site using the free GitHub pages service.

The whole class revolves around the step-by-step integration of Git in a provided project. By the end of the class, each student is expected to have their very own website hosted at a real URL that they can share with friends, family, and followers. No prior programming experience or experience with Git is required to take this class.
