Whats the easiest way of learning git and github?

There used to be a link to some Git tutorials in the old backed section of the curriculum, but it was a third party one and had since been removed.

I’ll see if I can find it and link to it for you…

Edit:

It’s updated now, but follow the README file and it’ll probably help you get started.

## What development environment should I be using?
* Pick your favorite editor, write all your code on your own machine in that editor
* Save all your code to GitHub
* Publish all your projects to the web - using surge.sh, github pages, heroku etc
* Avoid codepen.
* Avoid cloud 9 or any other "just code it on the web so you don't have to learn how to code on your own machine" site.
* Whenever you are doing a "Clone this" project - use only assets you create yourself or that have copyrights which would allow you to use them.
