Great course for beginners who want to learn GitHub. The course even covers Git Bash so that you can use the Command Line Interface through Git Bash.

Useful start to GitHub. Practice modules are the most helpful, but videos are paced too quickly, do not give time to take notes.

Good practice for the basic commands. One or two bits are implied like checking out to the proper branch before committing.
