Could be a bit more in-depth and technical. This is level "I've never used Linux and done programming" only.

A great choice for people who want to get started with learning Git codes, although the course is quick and generally easy to follow, it challenges you at times (particularly at the end!), so prepared to be challenged and confused!

The course provides some links to Websites with Git guides, so when you are stumped, USE THEM. You can also ask the tutor for help.

To summarise, I took a liking to Git Bash by the end of the course and can now use it for fairly basic stuff with my projects. Git Bash is confusing to use at first but you will soon get used to it, and will find it to be an invaluable asset for your Git journey.

I am very happy that Git works with GitHub. That is just one very small jet important item that I have learned.
