Learn Git Interactively Through Hands-On Practice

Git Practice is an interactive learning platform designed to help developers master Git version control through hands-on practice. Similar to how LeetCode teaches algorithms through coding challenges, Git Practice teaches Git through 22 real-world scenarios that developers encounter daily. Each challenge provides a fully functional browser-based Git terminal where you can execute real git commands, make mistakes safely, and receive instant feedback on your solutions.

The platform is built for three types of learners: beginners who are new to Git and need structured guidance, developers preparing for technical interviews that include Git questions, and experienced programmers who want to master advanced workflows like interactive rebasing, cherry-picking, and conflict resolution. Unlike traditional tutorials that only explain concepts, Git Practice requires you to actually perform Git operations, ensuring you develop real muscle memory and practical skills.

Who should use Git Practice?

• ✓
  Git Beginners: Learn Git fundamentals through guided challenges covering repository initialization, staging, committing, and basic branching. No prior Git knowledge required.
• ✓
  Interview Candidates: Prepare for technical interviews with challenges that mirror real interview questions about Git workflows, branching strategies, and fixing repository mistakes.
• ✓
  Professional Developers: Master advanced Git techniques used in professional teams, including rebase workflows, pull request best practices, and complex merge conflict resolution.
• ✓
  Team Leads: Learn Git collaboration patterns, branching strategies (Git Flow, trunk-based development), and code review workflows to guide your team effectively.

How to use Git Practice effectively

Start by selecting a study plan that matches your skill level. Beginners should follow the "Git Essentials" plan which covers repository basics, staging, committing, and branching in a logical sequence. Each challenge has two parts: theory questions that build conceptual understanding, and terminal exercises where you apply commands in a real Git environment. The platform tracks your progress and validates solutions automatically, so you get immediate feedback. For best results, practice regularly—completing 2-3 challenges per session is more effective than rushing through all problems. Use the "Try the Terminal" feature to experiment freely before attempting challenges, and don't be afraid to make mistakes—the browser-based environment is completely safe and isolated from your real projects.

Key Features

• →
  Browser-Based Terminal: Practice with a fully functional Git terminal that runs entirely in your browser using isomorphic-git. No installation, no setup, no risk to your local repositories.
• →
  Automatic Validation: Every solution is validated automatically against multiple criteria including file states, commit history, branch structure, and command execution.
• →
  Progress Tracking: Your progress is saved locally in your browser. Track completed challenges, view statistics by category and difficulty, and monitor your learning journey.
• →
  Study Plans: Follow curated learning paths like "Git Essentials" (beginner), "Modern Rebase Workflow" (intermediate), or "Complete Git Mastery" (all levels) for structured skill development.
• →
  Real-World Scenarios: Challenges are based on situations developers face daily: cloning repositories, resolving merge conflicts, rebasing feature branches, fixing commit mistakes, and more.
