Learn how to use GitHub in GitHub using interactive exercises.

Advance your GitHub journey

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

  • 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.
