How teaching others helped me learn GitHub?

Currently, I am doing a web development internship at my college, under which I am leading a team of 6 people. As a part of this internship, we have to develop a website for Department of Mechanical Engineering at our college.

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.

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.

But now, it seems so easy and my interest in using GitHub for doing team projects really got boosted.

In the past, I had watched 2-3 tutorial videos on "How to use Git and GitHub?" But nothing helped much.

Instead, teaching others and resolving their errors really helped me learn using it.

I would suggest everyone learn things by doing it practically rather than hunting for a new tutorial on YouTube every time.

Also, teaching others really helps you learn the skill better.
