As soon as the course finishes, I uninstalled Git for Windows from my desktop and only used the GitHub repository to slowly make sense of GitHub Pages and host my own personal website, which is still a work in progress. (Trust me, it looks a lot better now.) I created this story based on all the little things I didn’t get right when I first tried Git, but could’ve.

1. Git Makes More Sense When You Understand [Insert Concept Here]

Installing Git is the easy bit. Once you’ve got it in your machine comes the difficult part: how do you learn Git?

For me, it wasn’t a choice.

There is no wrong way to learn Git, but I’m convinced that there’s a right way. And it’s not learning by doing, which goes without saying. What I mean is to learn to think within a mindset that makes it easier to understand these new concepts. What I mean is to know what it is not.

How to learn Git, or should I learn GitHub instead?

How quickly can you learn Git?
