Git It Together

An interactive CLI tutorial for learning Git in AI-assisted workflows. Type real commands, grow your git tree, and go from zero to confident with Git.

Why this exists?

After presenting at multiple AI workflow trainings at my company, I've realized people are excited about AI - they see what tools like Claude Code and Cursor can do and want to try it. But there's still a huge gap between what people want to do and what they feell like they can do. The biggest barrier to meaningful AI adoption that I've seen is intimidation. Using Claude Desktop to rewrite emails and summarize docs feels safe, but real-leverage tools that exist in the terminal are a roadblock. Existing Git tutorials are written for engineers... but the world is changing, and more people are empowered to ship than ever. My vision for git-it-together is to teach the 20% of Git you'll use 80% of the time, in a gameified, fun CLI that is anything but intimidating.

Who is this for?

Non-technical users who work with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, v0.dev, or Bolt.

Perfect for PMs, designers, and founders who need to collaborate on projects but don't have a CS background.
