Git is an extremely important skill for you to learn. We're making it easy for you.

Dr. Lehr shows us how to use Git in an intuitive way with a visual tool called GitKraken. We'll start with basics and end with some advanced stuff like collaborating with a team! This is a great tool for your Solution Challenge projects.

By the end, you'll have a strong understanding of Git, how to use it, and why it's so useful as a software engineer.
