Lear git through LLMs

Learn git with LLMs

Use your local LLM client to learn git interactively with the help of this course.

How it works

This repository contains an MCP server that instructs your LLM client teach you git. It contains course materials and instructions.

It also keeps track of your progress, so you can continue where you left off.

To use, add the mcp server to your local LLM client and say start git course to begin the course. You can restart the course at any time by saying restart git course.

How to use

Requirements

A local LLM client that supports MCP servers, such as Zed, Claude code, VS Code, or Gemini.

Installation

install via pipx:

pipx install git+https://github.com/gdkrmr/git-mcp-course.git

This will install the mcp-git-course command, which is the MCP server that serves the course materials.

update the package:

pipx upgrade git+https://github.com/gdkrmr/git-mcp-course.git
