What is hello-git?

Hello Git is a free Spanish-language course teaching Git and GitHub to beginners from the ground up. The course spans about five hours and is organized into 45 lessons, all available as a single video on YouTube. It was originally recorded live on Twitch by the creator, Moure, who runs a Spanish-speaking developer community. The course starts with the history and core concepts of Git, then works through practical use: installing Git, using the terminal, configuring your identity, creating repositories, tracking changes, working with branches, merging, handling conflicts, and recovering from mistakes. The second half of the course shifts to GitHub, covering how to create an account, set up SSH authentication, push code to a remote repository, clone projects, and collaborate using forks and pull requests. Later lessons cover topics like GitHub Pages, GitHub Actions, and common team workflows. A companion book is also available, now in its second edition (updated April 2024). It runs 300 pages and covers the same material in a structured written format. It can be purchased as a paperback, as a Kindle edition, or as a digital download in PDF, EPUB, or web format. The repository itself serves as the course companion. It links to each lesson by timestamp so you can jump to a specific topic without watching the full video from the start. There is also a practice file where course participants are encouraged to add their GitHub username after completing the pull request lessons, giving them a real collaborative workflow to work through. A Discord channel dedicated to Git and GitHub questions is available for community support. The repository also links to free external resources including the official Git book in Spanish, a cheat sheet of common commands, and documentation for tools like GitHub Desktop and GitKraken.
