Git and GitHub Crash Course For Beginners | Complete Tutorial [2024]

Git isn't hard to learn, and when you combine Git and GitHub together, you've just made your life a whole lot easier.

I put this Git and GitHub tutorial together to provide a full journey through what every developer needs to know about Git and GitHub, from basic commit history operations, to advanced Git rebase and squash commands. It's great for advanced users, but Git and GitHub beginners will love it as well.

Most Git commands are demonstrated both on the command line and in the online GitHub tool. Furthermore, various GitHub features like pull requests and forking are demonstrated as well demonstrating many of the core differences between Git and GitHub.

If you need a crash course in Git and GitHub, and you want to learn about GitHub and Git in a fun and friendly environment, this Git and GitHub tutorial is for you!

This is how teaching particularly teaching tech-related content should be done.

Honestly, I loved how you talked about everything. The reason I loved it was because you went into even the little details that really helped me piece together everything and also helped me understand the underlying concepts. Even though instead of an hour it was almost 2 hours, those little details, diagrams, and also the fact that you showed it in action in the terminal and Git Bash really helped piece together everything so that I would not get stuck at all when I go off to do it on my own while creating my projects. It was the first time I actually saw someone explain everything so perfectly. I'm sure it took you hours to make it, and I'm sure you checked over the video many times and practiced many times as well. But I want to say that I really appreciate the effort that you put in and that it has helped me a lot. I am sure that just like how it has helped me, it has also helped many others, so thank you for all the effort you put in.

Your style of teaching is so unique...so inviting, not intimidating at all, so easy to follow and understand. Thank you!!

I now know how to work on git and github. If there are two big things in the life, this definitly one of them, you teach many people whos you do not know personally, so maybe they can earn both them and their family's food, and you helped on this without getting money (i mean free). This is quite big, at least I think so. Thanks to you a lot

Cameron is my type of guy. After long search of the right tutor for me, i found cameron. Thanks Man.

I'm 23 minutes from the end of this video, about to start on the "grand slam" portion, and I just wanted to pause to say that this video has been phenomenal. I've learned so much and have been able to work ahead of you for a decent portion in the last 3rd of this tutorial. This is the first video I've seen of yours and just based on this one video, you are great at teaching.
Thank you!

[mapleafstoronto]

This is the best tutorial of Git & GitHub for beginger. After I watched this, I can understand what others saying. Thanks

[jasewarrior]

By far the best explanation of how to use Git. I have listened to so many tutorials and gotten so confused but now I can actually understand what is happening. Thanks Cameron, you are a great teacher.

[turteschris]

I wish this video had more views and recognition. Cameron really gets into how it makes sense when connecting with github AND how development works!

[jennisonb]

Cameron, it doesn't get much better than your teaching style. Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial and post it. You have a new subscriber.

[Tekttskskwdi]

One of the best and straightforward and helpful git tutorial ever for beginners, I can say I watched at least 3-4 videos but could not grasp the idea behind the concepts. This video cleared it all and I mean wish you best for your rest of life.

[Some-zp]

To be honest, this is one of the best tutorial for git and GitHub in youtube.
Can you do the tutorial video for docker? it will be very helpful

[Brandon-kxzg]

As a visual learner, I liked your approach to teaching, nice!

[theankushgautam]

Really awesome tutorial, you repeat the earlier topics often so we get more and more familiar with the older topics. That's great way to learn.

Also, you look like Ned Stark who made it.

[anyasciiTV]

I had some issues that came up with git rebase, and i was excited for the troubleshooting opportunity. Resolved.
Thanks for your calm and confident demeanor.🎉

[scrumtuous]

Wow, I'm not sure if there's anything in that Git and GitHub tutorial that wasn't covered! Learned a lot.👍
