Learn GitHub with Phoebe

GitHub for everyone - no code required

Six browser-only sessions that make PMs, execs, ops and content people fluent on the world's biggest collaboration site. Zero code, zero command line - everything happens on github.com. You build a real team handbook as you go: created in Session 2, planned in 3, collaborated on in 4, live on the internet by Session 5, and health-checked like a pro in 6.

Meet GitHub: the internet's collaboration home

What GitHub actually is (handbooks, laws and courses live there, not just code), the account-org-repo mental map, and the social layer of profiles and stars.

Your first repo + Markdown

Create your handbook repo in the browser, write the README front door, make commits with the green button, and learn the Markdown that covers 95% of daily writing.

Issues + Projects

Issues as the universal todo list (not just bugs), labels, assignees and milestones, and Projects kanban boards - issue-driven work for non-dev teams.

Branches + PRs without code

Safe copies, proposals instead of overwrites, line-level review and the merge button - how teams stop emailing final_v3_FINAL.docx forever.

Publish with GitHub Pages

Repo to live website through Settings alone - your handbook gets a real URL on the internet, with themes and in-browser editing of the live site.

✓ What this course is

Browser-only GitHub fluency: repositories, Markdown, issues and boards, pull requests and reviews, publishing with Pages, and repo literacy - reading any project's health and speaking the vocabulary. Everything a non-tech professional needs to work where modern teams work.

✗ What it is not

No git CLI, no code, no merge-conflict surgery, no Actions authoring, no Copilot - those live in the tech track, now live. Boundaries kept on purpose so the browser toolkit actually sticks.
