GitHub Training Kit is open source courseware for Git and GitHub maintained by the GitHub Professional Services team.
The project addresses the need for accessible, shareable educational materials on Git and GitHub fundamentals. It provides Git and GitHub cheat sheets built with Jekyll and Markdown, styled using the Primer CSS toolkit. The materials are designed to be both web-accessible and deployable behind firewalls through a packaging script that creates a release tarball for internal distribution.
The training kit suits organizations that want to standardize Git and GitHub education across teams without relying on external platforms. It works well for companies needing to serve training materials from internal servers or those looking to customize and extend the courseware for their specific workflows. The project explicitly welcomes community contributions and provides a contributing guide for those wanting to improve or develop new materials.
The project maintains an active stance toward community involvement, with the README prominently inviting contributors and emphasizing eagerness to work with the user community. The repository has been actively maintained with a clear structure for packaging and deployment, including detailed instructions for testing packaged content locally. The codebase uses established tools and frameworks rather than custom solutions, making it straightforward for contributors to understand and modify the materials.
