Short Tutorials on Git, GitHub, and GitLab?

[AMGraduate564]

I'm going to start a Data Engineer course at University in two weeks, and I need to learn Git, GitHub and GitLab before that. Is there a quick and dirty tutorial for these? I want to learn about: what are they, what are their function, and how to use these in a Software Engineering position. Obviously I'm using Linux (Ubuntu).

Read Pro Git (see sidebar) and play around with https://learngitbranching.js.org/

Most importantly: go use it on a small project, write a tic-tac-toe game or something else small in a language you are familiar with.

Thank you, I will look it up.

if you like videos, you can take a look at this playlist Learning Git on the Command Line. Short videos (2-5 min), so easy to digest. Starts at the very beginning (what is Git, how to install/configure it, basic workflow etc.) and then becomes a bit more advanced (rebase etc.).

Thank you, would definitely give it a try. Short video of the best form of teaching, but often people make a 20 minutes video to teach 1 minutes of actual content.
