If you are justgetting startedor a veteran GitHub user, there’s always plenty for you to learn and explore as it keeps on evolving with time. Previously, users had to rely on secondary platforms such as Learning Lab and explainer videos to stay in touch with what’s new on the platform.

Now there is a new approach to this, where users will get to enhance their GitHub knowledge on GitHub. As such, Learning Lab is also set for deprecation on September 1.

Hence thedebut of GitHub Skills, which is backed by GitHub Actions. Essentially, it is in place to help both beginners and pros enhance their Github skillsets. As such, the developing process will now become mor efficient and effective.

GitHub Skills aims to provide users with a smooth, fast, and customizable learning experience which is why it is built with GitHub Actions. The learning experience will feature some popular topics such as Introduction to GitHub and Continuous integration. Furthermore, the user is at liberty tocurate their own coursesfor their projects using the open source course template.

Based on the fact that the learning experience is built on GitHub Actions, the course will be free in public repositories and on self-hosted runners, However, if you are taking the course on a private repository, you will also get it for free. However, it is limited toyour account’s monthly free GitHub Actions minutes.Sign up for GitHub Skillsto gain access to all these and more.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
