Course Description
SkillDynamo’s GitHub for Youth course develops practical, role-relevant capability in beginner GitHub version control, repositories, commits, branches, pull requests, issues, collaboration, simple web projects, safety, and digital portfolios. The learning path progresses from essential concepts and planning to implementation, validation, troubleshooting, and operational use.
