Why Learn Git?

Git isn't just another tool to learn - it's the skill that separates hobbyists from professionals. And it's not just for developers anymore: writers, designers, researchers, and data analysts are increasingly using Git to track their work and collaborate with others. Here's what mastering Git means for you:

Land Better Jobs

Version control is required for virtually every developer position. Knowing Git makes you hireable and confident in technical interviews.

Never Lose Your Work

Accidentally delete something important? With Git, you can always go back. Your code history becomes your safety net.

Collaborate Like a Pro

Work with teams on real projects. Contribute to open source. Review code and have your code reviewed - the way professionals do it.

Build Your Portfolio

A GitHub profile with real commits shows employers you can ship code. It's your proof of work that speaks louder than any resume.
