This is just lovely for newcomers to Git. Great little mascot, too.

I 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.

Git can be confusing to those who don't use it a lot, I'm always looking for good entry level resources.

I 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 -- 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.

Making the redirect seems like a fun small iteration. We're on it: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues...

and it's LIVE ;)

I 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?

I 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.

A Very good SEO move, to stir some of the 'lab' traffic away from gitlab.

Reminds me of the fan theory that Disney made a movie called Frozen to dominate the search results for "Walt Disney Frozen" and crowd out the results about his body being frozen.
