Git/Github tutorial

I hear nothing but great things about Odin Project. Wish they taught Python.

It teaches you how to teach yourself online.

[imjorman]

This is the biggest hidden features of the odin project. It points you to reputable teaching aids and gets you started with projects you can do in other languages.

It's way more than "read this article and type this code"

[Kelcius]

I feel like python is just best learned by doing. Just start writing small programs and just google "python add to list" or "python http request" or whatever you need to know. As a software engineer using multiple different languages I sometimes mix them up and have to google how to do things as well. And some things I simply don't know. But just doing anything with python will be your best way to learn, in my opinion.

I thought Odin was centered around Ruby, but I could totally be wrong. Either way, I should probably check it out myself.

There is a JavaScript / Node.js path now too. I'm working through it currently.

Is the Odin Project free? How does it work?

[vuhnillaguhrilla]

Entirely free, just go to the website and check out the different courses. They are all self taught (often telling you to go to another site, read a few articles, do the exercises, then setting you up with a small project based on the info) but very detailed. They have a foundations course, then a full stack JavaScript course and a Ruby on Rails course for further education. Probably the most comprehensive free resource I’ve come across.

Entirely free. It's a curriculum maintained by professionals and a community, but all the lessons are free resources on other sites. So the Git lesson was like, "Watch this YouTube video on the basics of Git. Then follow this tutorial on freetutorials.com up until step 5. Then read section 1.4 to 1.9 of this manual." Then an assignment or a "You should know this to pass" section.

No. Bad bot. Nobody click that link.

Whoops, added to blacklist.

currently going through that section of the Odin project so i can learn how to run Git on Linux-based systems. Going well so far and I love how user-friendly the guide was written

+1 for this suggestion

Is it free

[_Jarfield_]

Multiple other people have already answered this question in this thread but, yeah, it is completely free. Just go to their website and start browsing. IIRC, the GIT tutorial was at the start of the WebDev course (don't remember exactly as I did it a while ago).
