Learn · The Git and GitHub track

Git and GitHub, in three levels

Each level ends with something you built and a record that links to it. You can stop after any one of them, and what you earned still stands on its own.

Finish all three

Completing all three levels earns the Alongrail Certificate in Git and GitHub: three levels, three repositories, each one built on your own. Like every record, it’s private until you publish it.

What the three levels add up to

This is a sample, so you can see exactly what completing the track earns.

Awarded for three completed levels and the three projects linked above.

Each level also earns its own record as you finish it. The certificate comes when all three are complete — Practitioner and Professional are in development.

The record is a description of work you did, not a claim about you. The certificate is the same, three times over. It’s issued the moment your last level record exists, private until you publish it, and yours to unpublish.
