GitByBit — Git course integrated into VSCode and Cursor
Hi folks! My name is Alexander Shvets. People know me best as an admirer of raccoons and the creator of Refactoring.Guru Today I'd like to show you the project I've been working on for the past two years: https://gitbybit.com It's a Git course that runs inside your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, and friends), so you learn Git by using it in real dev environment. It's well-designed and illustrated. ## Who is it for? The course will be most helpful for three groups of people: - Developers who “use Git” but mostly as a black box. You know a few commands, but you want to actually…

In plain words
GitByBit is a Git course that runs directly inside VS Code and Cursor, teaching version control through hands-on practice in a real development environment. Designed for developers who use Git without fully understanding it, career returners needing to refresh Git skills, and beginners starting from scratch, the course uses illustrations and clear explanations to build practical confidence. Learners progress from fundamentals to working competently with Git while using their actual code editor.

Modern interactive Git tutorial built into your code editor. Fun, story-driven, illustrated, and FREE!
GitByBit is a FREE course that teaches Git * through practice right in your code editor . You follow bite-sized instructions, run real Git commands in the terminal or click through your editor’s Git interface, and the course verifies what happened. When something breaks, it tells you why and how to get unstuck. Start from the very basics and learn everything important about Git, bit by bit . Each lesson in the course takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete and requires you to perform a series of Git commands in your code editor. This course is tightly integrated with your code editor, so if you make a mistake, the course can detect it and suggest a solution. This way, you l e a r n b y d o…from gitbybit.com

While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby.

GitGuessrFeb 2026 · gitguessr.com · ▲98I built this game as a playful way to train code reading skills. You're dropped into a random location in a real GitHub repo where some lines code are hidden. The goal is to pick up clues from the surrounding code and fill in the missing lines as quickly as possible. It currently has curated game content for Python, TypeScript, JavaScript (by most metrics the top 3 languages on GitHub). I had the idea when it dawned on me that reviewing and understanding code spat out by an LLM is a key skill for the AI era. (I sincerely hope you're critically reviewing what your favorite LLM is serving…
GitHiredDec 2025 · githired.tech · ▲360Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…
GitHits beta 0.9Jun 2026 · githits.com · ▲181It has been almost 10 years since I started the opencv-python packaging project. Scaling it to more than 100 million downloads as a side project showed me how much ease of installation and proper package distribution matter to users. It gave the computer vision ecosystem a noticeable boost. Now I have a new idea that I hope can help even more people across the broader software engineering world. A while ago, I realized I kept giving the same advice to teammates and friends when they ran into a programming issue they couldn't easily solve: go to GitHub and look at how others solved it. There…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
