The tutorial is designed to give practical experience with Git. Various interfaces rely on it. In this tutorial, Git functionality is explained using GitHub, but there are other web interfaces, including GitLab and Bitbucket. Most of the functionality can be accessed via the browser, so it is not necessary to have Git installed on your computer for basic usage. We will provide instructions on how to use the browser interface alongside the command line interface.
