GitHub Learning Lab
- tomovo 8y agoNot trying to weaken the GitLab brand at all... /s
- bowties2cool 8y agoStrongly suggest they open a GitLab Learning Hub.
- lucideer 8y agohttps://lab.github.com/ https://lab.github.com/ https://hub.gitlab.com/ https://hub.gitlab.com/ hrmmmm... Definitely a missed opportunity if they don't.
- grenoire 8y agoMiddle-school tier politics, I like that.
- portroyal 8y agoI think this rivalry should continue; playfully acknowledge what everyone observes to be true. Sir Tim said cool urls never die; GitLab, your turn! https://hub.gitlab.com https://hub.gitlab.com -- make it happen! Edit: Your use-case; me. I migrated to your platform and, as an autodidact, would greatly appreciate a native resource of similar (IMproved) quality. Thank you.
- sytse 8y agoMaking the redirect seems like a fun small iteration. We're on it: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/6667 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues...
- fargo 8y agoReminds of when google gave duck.com to duckduckgo for free.
- lzy 8y agoDid they really give it away for free? I couldn't find any source for this information.
- ralphstodomingo 8y agoThis one wonders where Bitbucket plays into this, but I'm guessing they're out?
- fnord123 8y agoI'll let you know once the page loads.

- sk0g 8y agoReminds me of when Rise Against wrote Architects, which prompted Architects to write a song called Rise Against.
- notafrog 8y agoI guess they did...
- tobr 8y agoMy brain read the title and URL as “GitLab”. This does not look good, GitHub. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusing_similarity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusing_similarity
- daveFNbuck 8y agoYeah, I was a bit confused when I clicked the link and ended up on GitHub and not GitLab.

- g105b 8y agoThis is just lovely for newcomers to Git. Great little mascot, too.
- jihadjihad 8y agoIndeed does look great, was only hoping the mascot would be a Labrador, though :D
- itsrajju 8y agoLast couple of years have been really great for newcomers to any kind of tech really. Resources like this Learning Lab, freecodecamp, react.games etc. have really opened up a lot of avenues for anyone to learn how to code - no experience required! I can only hope that this results in better developers entering the workforce few years from now.
- acomjean 8y agoI thought it wasn't good for newcomers to git (which was odd because its GitHub). I only see three labs: That being said the paths section[1] does appear to have paths for Git, which seem quite good. [1]https://lab.github.com/paths https://lab.github.com/paths Git can be confusing to those who don't use it a lot, I'm always looking for good entry level resources.
- petetnt 8y agoNote that albeit this is a really nice resource, Learning Lab originally launched in April 2018 https://github.blog/2018-04-19-introducing-github-learning-lab/ https://github.blog/2018-04-19-introducing-github-learning-l...
- toofattothrowaw 8y agoSerious question to any psychologists/sociologists lurking- why are women in engineering roles usually somewhat overweight?
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoAre you sure that's really the case? I haven't noticed such a trend.
- sctb 8y agoWe've banned both this and your other account.
- oh-noessss 8y agoBoth accounts??????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- timdorr 8y agoThis actually looks great for job candidate coding exercises. You can guide them through working out some problems, and validate each step with an Action. Neat!
- diminish 8y agoA Very good SEO move, to stir some of the 'lab' traffic away from gitlab.
- spectramax 8y agoThat's an interesting viewpoint. To be honest, I don't understand SEO and it is such a big buzz word. If I look up videos on YouTube about SEO, they appear as if they're selling me a pyramid scheme. Why is the SEO business appear to be so scammy? I am put off from just learning about it. Same thing with SEO books on Amazon.
- sv123 8y agoAll you need to know about SEO: Create good content that people want to link to, make sure you follow html best practices that have been around since the 90s.
- sb52191 8y agoAs someone with very minimal/hobby experience in html, do you have an example/link as to what those practices are?
- matz1 8y agoIts not enough because you are competing with other for the same spot. You have to do all of you mentioned + something more that is better than other.
- prepend 8y agoI’m not sure. It’s been pretty good for what I need it for, running small businesses. I’m constantly bombarded by SEO spam to SEO my wife’s site. She just writes content, frequently and have genuine activity and ranks higher than all her competitors who SEO like crazy, but whose sites are vapid. Granted, would likely get more traffic with SEO, but it’s better, I think, to put energy into real, useful pages. Rather than trying to trick users or outtrick other sites.
- agluszak 8y agoI thought they were going to announce some new features copied from GitLab :o
- straws 8y agoI gotta say, the "installing" workflow is pretty opaque and confusing. Why do I need to both authorize GitHub _and_ install a GitHub app? If I elect to only authorize it for specific repos (instead of read/write access to all of my repos), why do I need to install it first for some empty project before GitHub can create the repo for the course I'm trying to access?
- justadudeama 8y agoI agree with this. If anyone from GitHub is here, there should be an option to "create new repository and give access for this course" option.
- sireat 8y agoI was considering using Lab as an alternative to freecodecamp for my students but looks like a pass so far because it is not beginner friendly. Once you get past the ickiness of Lab asking to be installed on ALL your repos there is still the issue of materials. Let's take the intro-html course. Should be nice and beginner friendly right? The last instructions for the first issue are: " To help you get started, I have already created an index.html file for you on a branch called: add-index. All you need to do is create the pull request: Create a pull request. You can either use this direct link, or go to the Code tab, click on New Pull Request, select base: master, and compare: add-index. Add a descriptive title to your pull request, something like "Add the index.html file". Add a descriptive body to your pull request. Click Create pull request." " No links to what a pull request is nor a link to introductory github course. No explanation on why base: master, and compare: add-index it might as well be PCLoadLetter to those new to github. PS Plus the promised automatic pull request failed(probably because I changed the title of the repository)
- fourier_mode 8y agoGitlab is actually redirecting hub.gitlab.com to lab.github.com.
