Boot dev4h 20m
Four hours that go under the hood — the commit graph, HEAD, rebase vs merge, reflog recovery — with a terminal you can follow. This is the course that stops Git from being magic and makes mistakes recoverable.

Git and GitHub Tutorial for Beginners [11 Hours]
Bogdan Stashchuk11h 13m
Eleven hours that go past 'git init, git commit' into the parts beginners actually get stuck on: branching strategies, merge vs rebase, resolving conflicts, cherry-pick, tagged releases and the full GitHub pull-request workflow. Use it when the crash courses run out, or as a reference you watch one chapter at a time when a real repository misbehaves.
