Learn Git by solving cases. A commit has vanished, a branch was deleted, a merge went wrong: your job is to crack the mystery in a simulated terminal, with nothing to break. GitQuest turns learning Git and GitHub into a detective game. No lectures: you type real Git commands, you understand version control in a real-world context, and you make progress in just a few minutes a day. WHAT YOU WILL FIND - Interactive investigations: every mission is a Git mystery to solve (lost commit, deleted branch, merge conflict) - A simulated terminal to practice Git commands safely: git commit, git branch, git merge, git rebase, git stash and many more - A complete beginner course: the Academy walks you through the Git model step by step, from your first repository to resolving conflicts - Quizzes to test and anchor what you learn - A certification to earn, with a certificate you can share on LinkedIn - Mini games to review Git vocabulary while having fun - Badges, XP and streaks to keep you motivated WHO IS IT FOR? - Beginners who want to learn Git from scratch - Junior developers and career changers preparing for their first job - Computer science students - Developers who want to solidify their version control fundamentals WHY GITQUEST? Git is the most used tool among developers, and the least well taught. Classic tutorials give you lists of commands to memorize. GitQuest puts you in real situations: you understand why you type each command, because you need it to solve the case. The core of the app is free: investigations, the course and the exercises stay free. Premium adds comfort (unlimited lives, XP boosts, detailed solutions) and supports an independent developer. A few minutes on the couch or during your commute is all it takes. Install GitQuest and start your first investigation today. Auto-renewable subscription.

You know the theory. You've never built anything. Arrays, data types, Big O. Then a blank file and the two questions school never answered: where do I even start, and how do I get the software engineering job? The job wants practical experience, and the degree never gave you any. Altab is the roadmap from there to senior, and your own project is the first thing on the road. You pick something real to build on day one. Each stage tells you what to build next, short lessons teach exactly what that stage needs, and you send in what you built and get written feedback on it before the next stage opens. THE ROADMAP, IN ORDER · Your project: the thing you are building, from day one · Getting oriented: files, folders, and the terminal · Things talking to things: how the internet works, front end, back end, APIs, databases · Your tools: the editor, version control, and the rest of the bench · How code works, making it run, when it breaks, and the bug factories · Shipping it: hosting, deploys, containers, remote machines · Working with an agent, then taking real products apart Nothing is skippable and everyone starts at the beginning, because the thing that stopped you was never the hard part at the end. HOW A LESSON GOES 1. One idea, in plain words, with a picture. 2. A handful of short questions. The tap is the answer. 3. The explanation, every time: why the right answer wins, and why the one you wanted tempted you. THE HABIT · Five minutes a day, first question in minute one · Wrong answers never cost you. The explanation shows up either way · Spaced review brings a missed idea back before you forget it · Streaks with no hearts and no lockouts. A rest day is never a zero · Weekly leagues, XP, and a record card WHO IT IS FOR CS students and new grads who can pass the class and still cannot build anything. You know the theory, you have watched the tutorials, you have taken the classes, and a blank file still stops you. You build your own project from day one and the roadmap teaches what each stage needs. FREE AND PREMIUM Lessons 1 and 2 of every course are free. No card required. Premium unlocks every lesson after the second in every course, your own project with written feedback at every stage, spaced review, and new courses as the tools change. Premium is a subscription: $9.99 per month, or $69.99 per year. Payment is charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your store account settings. A Restore Purchases button is on the paywall and in settings. Terms of Service: https://altab.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://altab.ai/privacy Support: support@altab.ai
