As a part of this internship, we have to develop a website for Department of Mechanical Engineering at our college.</p> <p>Recently, I experienced how teaching others helped me learn GitHub better than ever before as I was helping my teammates with pushing changes to GitHub and do other similar things like fetch, pull, merge, commit, merging conflicts etc. on it.</p> <p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--2U_UOWOF--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/rud2eyzdtkubkkcd1bt2.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--2U_UOWOF--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/rud2eyzdtkubkkcd1bt2.jpg" alt="Alt Text"></a> </p> <p>Earlier, using it was really a challenging task for me. I would always refer to the documentation for the commands and to see how to use them. </p> <p>But now, it seems so easy and my interest in using GitHub for doing team projects really got boosted.</p> <p>In the past, I had watched 2-3 tutorial videos on "How to use Git and GitHub?" But nothing helped much.</p> <p>Instead, teaching others and resolving their errors really helped me learn using it.</p> <p>I would suggest everyone learn things by doing it practically rather than hunting for a new tutorial on YouTube every time. </p> <p>Also, teaching others really helps you learn the skill better.</p> github opensource webdev beginners
