A project born from experience

GitQuest is not yet another Git tutorial. It's a tool created by someone who trains developers in career transitions and apprenticeships every day.

I'm Anaïs, a web developer and head of education. After years of helping learners with Git — often the number one stumbling block — I created GitQuest to make learning hands-on, progressive and motivating.

My approach: no unnecessary jargon, no theory without practice. Every investigation, every challenge is designed to simulate real-world scenarios you'll encounter at work.
