GitHub Foundations is an introductory course designed to provide developers with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to use Git and GitHub effectively in modern software development environments. The programme introduces the core concepts, products, and collaborative capabilities of GitHub while establishing a solid foundation in source code management.

Throughout the course, participants will learn how to manage repositories, create and maintain branches, perform commits, work with pull requests, and merge code changes using industry best practices. The programme also explores GitHub's collaboration features, enabling development teams to work more efficiently throughout the software development lifecycle.

Due to the breadth of the official curriculum, Bilginç IT Academy delivers this programme over two days, combining instructor-led sessions with practical laboratories and real-world exercises to ensure participants gain hands-on experience with the GitHub platform.
