GitHub has introduced a new tool it’s calling ‘Learning Lab’ which teaches developers how to collaborate on code using its service.
In the company’s own words, “GitHub is more than a home for code. It’s a forum for collaboration, a sandbox for testing, a launchpad for deployment, and often, a platform for learning new skills.”
Learning how to use GitHub is almost essential for any developer — whether it’s for open-source projects, or for commercial software development.
Rather than a standard tutorial approach, developers will learn through issues opened by a bot in a GitHub repository. Following the completion of a task, the bot will comment on their work and review pull requests just like a collaborator.
There are five courses at launch:
Introduction to GitHub: Get an introduction to the most common, collaborative workflow for developers around the world.
Communicating using Markdown: Learn how to communicate on GitHub and beyond with Markdown’s simple syntax.
GitHub Pages: Host a website or blog directly from your GitHub repository.
Moving your project to GitHub: Get tips for migrating your code and contributors to GitHub.
Managing merge conflicts: Learn why merge conflicts happen and how to fix them.
A course for making an initial contribution to an open source project is listed as coming soon.
